Hay!
So today was pretty eventful. We did a short swim in the morning, then we went for a run in a national park. I had really wanted to see some wildlife and at the park we saw both Kangaroos and Wallabees! It was very neat. Then a bit later we went for a team Canada lunch. The elites, all us juniors and the age groupers were all there. I felt a little like a celebrity because when we got there they made an announcement that they were letting all of us "high performance athletes" go eat first. Then they announced all our names and got us to stand. Simon gave a short speech and then passed his medals around. It's weird because I remember when it was amazing just to shake his hand, and now I actually know and do workouts with him. The Elites are all really friendly and down to earth people. At the airport, I played poker with them and the junior guys played "volleyball" with Simon. Later today the we had a bike and then just relaxed. Tomorrow is the U23 Elite race so good luck to Andrew Mcartny, Andrew York and Paula Finely! Have a look at that race on the ITU site.
That's it for today. More Updates tomorrow:)
