JWOC 2007 rest day

JWOC rest day! The team takes time to rest and recuperate after the long event yesterday. The team accommodation was on the outskirts of the thriving megalopolis of Dubbo but most made a trip into the shops to indulge in some retail therapy still leaving plenty of time for NZ to take on Ireland in rugby.

Meanwhile it was time for the NZ supporters (some of whom can be seen below in their snappy supporters’ T shirts) to sample the JWOC long distance terrain in a public event held in conjunction with the Australian State Schools champs. The reason for the outburst that greeted Aiden when he appeared high on the skyline at the twin boulders two hours into his run is a story he would probably rather wasn’t told here! Meanwhile the anticipation is building for the middle distance event tomorrow.
