What a nice sunny day. A lovely contrast to round 1’s weather. The athletes and officials were treated to cake to celebrate Brenda’s birthday. Thank-you Janice and Mal for the cake.

We ended the round in 6th place with a score of 24 381 points, ahead of WEN by just 191 points. This is why every athlete’s points are important to our overall position and how bonus points from relays can make a difference.
