Adelaide SuperDrome, Feb 3-8
It's track nationals time, the event that we have been working towards for the last few months. Personally, I appear to have finally kicked this cough that has been plaguing me for weeks and I am pretty sure I got all of my form out from the back of the couch!! Adelaide has been in heatwave for the last week, and thankfully it has cooled to the high 30s (rather than >40C!), though it does make for a super fast track!
Team ducks- keepers of the kiddy pool/icebath!
The ACT has a very small team this year- there is only 9 of us. But, what we lack in quantity, we are making up for in quality ;) For the elite men: Danny Ellis, Alex Bird and Tom Palmer; elite women: myself and Jessie Maclean; JM19: Edward Bissaker and JP Orchison; JW19: Caitlin Todd and Catherine Culvenor. Along with the athletes there are 4 support staff- Brian and MaryAnn Simpson (coach and manager), Gerry Elias (mechanic) and special to Matt for stepping up and driving Glenn's car across with all the gear after Glenn's slight mishap! We also have the iron chef mums with us again to prepare our lunch and dinner- thanks Leanne, Lyn and Elaine!!
Here are some photos of the team relaxing in the backyard of our apartments before competition began.

Icebath (of sorts)- Edward, Jessie & Catherine
