At the end of the day, we spontaniously ended up at a Rodeo in Ravenshoe. Unfortunately, it was pretty dark and not very good conditions for amazing photo opporunities. However, on the way out to the rodeo, road signs adviced to watch out for bulls big enough to tip your car over =S
The only decent photo we managed to take.
It was freezing cold the entire evening and night. Being at a Rodeo is like stepping into a movie. I just find it hard to believe that it is for real. Cowboys and girls in all sizes (from babies to grans) its just amazing. Dad however reminded me that they would probably feel the same if the stepped in to triathlon settings.

SPEAKING OF WHICH
I am not even going to give you a race report. I had the ride of my life at my last Australian triathlon in Byron bay on Saturday. Surviving the big swell, leaving the water as number 3 in my AG, I overtook the leader at 7km on the bike. For some incredibly stupid reason, I managed to screw up the ride and was convinced I was heading the wrong direction. A marschal lady basically confirmed this (although she was totally wrong), so I turned back, rode 2.5km and then realized by looking at the roadsigns that I had not at all been heading the wrong direction in the beginning. By then, my abt 4 min lead was gone and I turned back. Wasted 8 min on the bike (5km) and enetered transition where abt 10 bikes were racked already. The fact that I still came 4th in my age groiup, despite riding an extra 5 km may confirm that Im in good shape. But it didnt really make me happy in any way as I would have won female sprint overall (not just AG) if I wouldnt have done that stupid mistake.
I will NEVER make that mistkae again, thats for sure!
