Not long now. Hope everyone has banked lots of sleep as we head into a week of world class O (and live coverage to match - fingers crossed). Go you kiwis!

You wouldn't believe it, one of the kids downloaded a bunch of games onto the ipod chewing up a lot of valuable MB's. there is a real danger my broadband won't last the week and everything will revert to dail-up speed. Great timing. I seriously need to find a reason to ban all use of the net until Woc is complete.

That would be extra annoying. It is clear that you should change your ISP.

I grin at all this clever talk; but I hope it will inspire you to do something about it Paul.

So I make that from 8:15 pm onwards. But anyone who knows if they have summer time in Norway and can figure out what way that moves things without their head exploding is most welcome to correct me. Preferably before kickoff ;-)

Norway is 10 hours behind us currently.
So you can start watching La's track at 1915.

Michael, our monthly 10Gigs allowance has already run out, i would have thought that would have been enough for any normal household who doesn't download illegal music or movies. I'll have to rely on you guys for as much news and drama as possible  but it's gonna suck without live gps etc 
Should have thought about this weeks ago as prep for the big woc week!

Rita 19th in heat 2 with 18.17, won by Linnea Gustafsson in 14.39, cut off for finals (15th) 17.17
Lara 21st in heat 3 19.03, won in 15.34 and cut of 17.43
got to feel for zenia, missing out on qual by 1s in a heat with simone,helena and minna!

Yes, in searching for Zenia I wonder why there isn't a simple little feature on the results, a red line under place 15 (or whatever number it is, sometimes THAT takes some searching out).

Ross and many others apparently DSQ, any idea what's going on Lizzie? It looks like what happens when we stuff up the courses in teh SI software, no doubt it can happen in Emit as well.

Sorry I only know as much as you bout the dsqs michael,assume its a tech glitch. i'm watching on the net from britain where im trying to get the ankle seen to.
had mri scans the other day and got report back friday, severe bruising in the ankle joint and a probable hairline fracture which certainly explains why i found running at world uni's so painful! off to dr tomorrow to devise a plan of action.
