I've been in Colombia for a few days now and last night we finally managed to dodge the showers and get a skate in after a few failed attempts. The New Zealand team is staying just outside of Guarne (the city to host the Championships) but unfortunately no one apart from the Colombian team has access to the actual worlds track until the 7th of October. So last night we skated at a track in Medellin which is about a 45 minute drive down from Guarne.
At the moment it’s the “rainy season” here which is a pain, ever day it has rained. The annoying thing is it doesn’t just rain once, there are several heavy downpours throughout the day and it seems to rain all through the night as well. Apparently the road circuit is far from finished and all this rain isn’t going to help, so they are on a tight deadline to get it finished.
The sun is shining this morning so hopefully we’ll be able to get another skate in today.
