Sydney -1 down 9 to go!

Kirsty, Sarah, Lauren (coach) and Laura (LW1x) and I have arrived here at Sydney airport after our flight from Christchurch. I'm not sure what the time is here because we have set our clocks to Russia time, to try and adapt to the Kazan time as soon as possible.

So that's one flight down and nine to go on our round trip. We plan to stay awake on the first half of our next flight and sleep the second half.  We have some rather unattractive looking hydration masks to wear while we sleep to help keep our fluids up. We might look like hospital patients! I will post a photo of that later.

We will meet up with the other athletes in Dubai including team mate Esthie. Her and I haven't parted for more than a few hours at a time since she moved to Dunedin with me in June. So it will be good to reunite and have our four together!

We are about to board soon for Bangkok so stay tuned for another update and some pics.
