After the 6 Day Race I have decided to take it very easy the first at
least 4-5 days.

Usually you would reward yourselves a long rest after a competition like
this, but as it is my aim to make no unnecessary stops in the world run I
must continue.

- And that actually is a joy:
As much as I appreciated the friendships and intense duels on the track -
just as much I began to long for the open roads ahead of me :-)

Silent, relaxed running into the horizon; watching for any sign of injury
while taking in the nature that unfolds behind every bend of the road -
back in the world run routine again!

A pleasant surprise was that I was met at my start by several of the
competitors & organizers from the 6 day race. The night I had spent at the
farm of Tania & Rod Armistead who had been down in Colac to cheer me on at
the race.

-Australia still amazes me by its richness in friendly people!!
