Mark Webber Challenge

We arrived this morning and have registered. It is beautiful today but the weather is expected to get nasty later in the week.

We fitted out our bikes, checked all our new gear (clothes, shoes, bags, etc) and had a quick kayak. I am in a boat with Keith, and Phil and Richard are in the other. We’ve checked the rudder this year having had a crooked one last time.

Most competitors have arrived and we are slowly meeting everyone. I sat next to Leigh Colbert (Nth Melbourne exAFL) he is looking forward to the event but also nervous about racing 6 to 8 plus hours for 5 days.

The course looks good. Days 1, 2 and 4 will be hard. Day 2 will be particularly hard as it involves running Mt Rolland like last year (3 mountain peaks) with a mountain bike before and after, followed by a 7km kayak.

Cheers
Mark
