Well driving out to Superweek was you know, very long 12-13hrs. We, Beca and I had our sing-a-longs along the way and one extremely funny incident. We got to one particular stop and we needed a nature break and walked into the bathroom to find this older lady (60+) washing out her handbag. We didn't take much notice til she said to us that she dropped her bag, including the contents, in the toilet. I said "that's not good". Then as we were walking back out to the car she was following and she then said to her friend that she dropped her bag and all the contents in the toilet! We then had to hurry to get to the car and unlock it so we could laugh....all we could think was how can you drop your bag in the toilet, hold it over the bowl then 'plop' in it goes!!!! So we had a great laugh there!
We then make it to our destination, Blue Island and our host family, Bob and Cathy Manethei, were so lovely and very welcoming. Beca and I had a huge room with air conditioning! Which is the complete opposite to DC.
Racing went very well for our team except our sprinter J Dub was extremely injured. We all worked very hard all series, actually 7 days and 2 days of extra racing, to keep her in the race but also to get her to the finish. J Dub had to pull out of 2 races due to her injury but we still managed to keep her in 3rd overall for the series! This is something to be proud of and to know watch out Kelly Benjamin when J Dub is not injured as she won the series. In amongst that J Dub won the stage at Whittnal Park and come very close in all the other sprints.
To our trip home, another 12hrs or so, we had to try and fit so much stuff into the car it wasn't funny. We had all the team gear eg windtrainers, radios, food, esky, chairs etc plus 4 peoples personal belongings and 3 people. Well we managed to get it all in so that it was 50% people and 50% stuff, the poor matrix! Well we made it home safely thanks to Sheba!
