We all woke up today after a decent sleep…. Nick has claimed ‘the cove’ but Ben and I will be kicking him out very soon. All the basic shopping was done today and Ruby (our van) is now ready to support us in every way.
As a team we thought it was vital to get some team bonding before we set off tomorrow morning to improve our cohesion and communication. The best way to do that in Melbourne is to visit the MCG and watch a game ‘football’. Unfortunately there were no beers consumed however some lame artsy fartsy videos of Ferris wheels and trams were filmed for our video.
Benny had to fork out a little cash on a new camera. He has two in the post on the way to his house in Sydney with no way to get them here before we begin. We told the salesman at Camera house we’d put him in our blog cause he gave us a rippin deal. Thank you Thep =)
A big thankyou to Steve and Laura who have been kind enough to offer us their house to use while we have been ‘team bonding’. They also put on a MASSIVE feed for us which we probably won’t get for three weeks. Absolutely gold.
Ben and Steve picked Carlee up from the airport tonight at 8pm…and breathed a sigh of relief when they guessed correctly that she’d arrive at Tullaramarine airport (rather than Avalon 65km away!) . Along with Mark, Carlee makes up the rest of our support team for the first week-being a physio will surely be an asset to us along the way too-looking forward to some massages!
To be honest I’m pretty scared/nervous about hitting the road tomorrow morning. The drive down here really drove home how far this run actually is. I think all the boys are in the same boat, excited but nervous. Hopefully the first day (53km) goes as planned.
