Lead up to Race 1

Dobreden,
This weekend we have a race here at Liptovsky Mikulas. A lot of countries have started to arrive and the trainings are getting jam packed with people preparing for the upcoming race. Participating countries include: Slovakia, Canada, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, Great Britain, France, Slovenia, Poland, Ukaine and the mighty Kiwi's(James Dawson and myself). Its a pretty sweet atmosphere now with lots of people round. I am thinking of changing my name as it gets pronounced wrong everytime coz its so tricky.
Last night we trained late at night to avoid the rush hour that carried on right through the day and we experienced lots of thunder and lightning. James then ran home, just as it began to absolutely bucket down with rain. The hotel Klar staff had a good laugh at him when he walked in totally saturated.
I went out to discover the shops today and got to practice the Slovak words I have been learning. We then went and watched some of the other Nations training, it was really good. The sun is finally out today which is wicked!!Its such a beautiful day!
Lately we have been exploring the township also. Yesterday we found some cute as wooden Hut type Houses that you can only get to by walking. I will try put some pics up soon.
Off on another mission soon...

Dobredenia
