In Melbourne

I've left NZ for a few weeks and am now in Melbourne on the start of my Australian travels. Staying with a friend from rowing at home, who's been out here for a while, and there are a couple of other mutual friends here too so it's been good to catch up. In a bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing we did a team triathlon this morning - I did the 750m swim, which was a bit scary because of the chaos at the start. However I managed to overtake quite a few people and did a good time, and as a team we think we were the first or second quickest female team. Annoyingly they decided to merge the male and female teams as all male on the results so it's hard to tell for sure.

Melbourne still tomorrow, before heading to Adelaide by train on Tuesday morning.
