World Run I / ReportsGoto: 2005-01-19 2005-01-21 Australia 2005-01-20:Distance today: 30.0 km (Accumulated: 17080.0 km) Country: Australia 2005.01.20.B. (Crew: P. Gray all stage) 30km, 3:05:32h. . Excl. food, water, road-finding, toilet etc. stops. Total 17.039km. Start: 18:31pm. / 16:01 WAT. Finish: 21:59pm. / 19:29 WAT. Time GMT + 10:30 hours (NB: South Australian Time!) +41c, clear sky and no wind at start. 33c, sunset and same wind at finish. - Nice hot stage ;-) After the 40km run in the morning, the temperature during the 30km evening session took its toll.. as you can see from the slower speed ! A positive thing was our accommodation at the Fraser Range Sheep Station & Hotel :-) So far the West Australian Roadhouses like the Balladonian has been a less friendly experience (Nullabor, Border village & Madura very positive exceptions) - probably due to the hard conditions they endure, or because the world run must seem a strange thing out here ! Yet as mentioned the people at Fraser Range was a much welcome example of the huge Australian helpfulness that I have experienced through almost every single stage in Australia :-)) - You can visit the website of the still operating Sheep Station & its Hotel at www.FraserRangeStation.com.au If you happen to be in this part of Australia I think you will find it well worth a visit :-)! Goto: 2005-01-19 2005-01-21 Australia 2005-01-20:Distance today: 40.0 km (Accumulated: 17080.0 km) Country: Australia 2005.01.20.A (Crew: P. Gray all stage) 40km, 4:10:54h. Excl. food, water, road-finding, toilet etc. stops. Total 17.009km. Start: 06:41am. / 4:11 WAT. Finish: 11:34am. / 9:04 WAT. Time GMT + 10:30 hours (NB: South Australian Time!) +6c, dark & no wind at start. 29c, clear sky and same wind at finish. - 17 000km; in bones! My desert crew, the notorious P. Gray, had a special surprise waiting for me at finish: all across the roadside he had written: "World Run 17 000km", with the bones of dead kangaroos !!! No joke! I will try to email the picture so it should hopefully be on the website soon :-) .. Now there is a genuine desert-crew for ya ;-) Only thing is that we are not totally sure if I passed 17 000km today or yesterday! - Out here I have since long more or less lost count of it, so we have to check with the Team back in Denmark once we get to Norseman where there will be internet and mobile phone contact. |
