9.00am Thrones being unwrapped for fastest time or current leaders. Fine and very warm. Finish Shute across large open square in town centre.
Proud Kiwi crowd found high ground by the spectator control at 3/4 mark. Note flagstones.
Ed,first male Kiwi home. All starters had been in large sports stadium (quarantined) with covered windows and only stairs for warm up space . Threat of thunder and rain.
An hour later "cats n dogs rain", lightening, and ankle deep in places. Good concentration by Sophie. Many falls by speedsters at controls and steps.
Our winner, Tim, with washed out flag (it seemed to have no stars!) in stadium at rescheduled Opening Ceremony/Prize giving. At least 3 large flags on display with the 20 plus NZ supporters cheering from the tiered seating. National anthem but no Haka.
