Update from Mike Wakelin in Italy 5 Sep 2004.
Hi
Race weekend draws near in Sauze d'Oulx, we've moved into the teams hotel and pretty much everyone's arrived. Jono Wyatt is looking good to take his place in the mens team, meaning reserve Seaton Meredith will be lining up in the Open Race. But unfortunately Moana Burt has a back injury and will withdraw to let Anna Frost run for the Senior women.
The only other current problem is the womens race tops and all the tracksuits have been captured by customs in Milan after ANZ had to speed mail them because Union didn't supply them on time. Hopefully they'll arrive by the opening ceremony tonight (or it'll be kiwi mufti)??
Otherwise things are going to plan. We've apparently acclimatized to what altitude there is and familiarised with the ups and downs of the course (also familiarised with the towns shops and restaurants and a smidgeon of the lingo). Weather is fine, forecast is sunny.
The schedule is (NZ time approx.)
