The next was 1500m. Team Goodyear went up against the top Tahitian and top Hawaiian teams. We lead for a while then got pipped at the end to take 3rd in the heat, getting the 3rd fastest time of the day.

Bernd Somer had his singles race yesterday too. He came 2nd behind a Tahitian, and took the 3rd fastest time of the day.

The top single man is a Tahitian, 6 secs faster than Bernd.

Organisation is a bit hectic, but we're used to it from back in NZ.

Thanks for all ya emails, and we'll bring back the gold.
