Currently on the plane at the gate in Sydney. After I get home I'll go through our pictures and post the good ones from the run.

Thanks to everyone for showing Anne and I a wonderful time.

I know that I am late getting these posted but this is the first time I have had enough time to sit down and resize any of the pictures since my return. The pictures in these two posts are from the Basin Trials, I hope to get the chance to do at least some from the run tomorrow.
