In the mens final Julian Dent was our only athlete and showed promising signs in qualifying two days earlier. As the early times were coming in from the radio and spectator control it looked like very little was going to seperate the men. Everyone had to push the limits to be sucessfull but on the other hand they didn't want to push too hard and come un-stuck. Even the more experienced runners like Emil Wingsted (SWE) fell victim to this, posting an early lead time but as quickly as he gained the lead he lost it. All the big names came out in force towards the end and Julian was smack bang between them all. Early on in Julian's race he lost time and tried to hold off a chasing Holger Hott-Johansen (NOR/W.Champ) and battled around to end up a respectable 24th position. "I am not happy at all with my run. I made a large mistake early on in the race" commented Julian. "I'm already focusing on the relay" Julian commented on the way back to the team hotel. Thierry Guergiou stood out from the other 44men to win a 4th World Championship crown.

In the womens final Hanny Allston, Grace Elson and Jo Allison were ready to do Australia proud. After a poor qualifying position Minna Kauppi (FIN) took an early lead and held onto it for most of the morning. It was not untill the very end when the "Simone-Train" came through and collected Marianne Andersen (NOR) did she loose her lead. Hanny Allston started at the back of the field and lost some time early on to be caught by Heli Jukkola (FIN) who later went on to place 2nd. Hanny ended up +7mins on overall winner Simone Niggli (SUI) in a personal best 13th position which was Australia's best performance of the day. "Im happy as it was my best ever performance in the middle event" commented Hanny Allston this evening. Grace Elson got onto a good run but lost some time in confusion leaving the spectator control ending up in 32nd position. Jo Allison had hoped for more but did not have the best of days to end up in 44th position. Simone-Niggli continues her dominance of world orienteering with her 11th World Champs title today, when will she stop? nobody knows.

Tomorrow Australia will send out Anna Sheldon (QLD) and Hanny Allston (TAS) in the blue-ribon event, the Long Distance Final. It looks like its going to be a tough day at the office for the girls with over 12km to cover in over 35degree temperatures. The other members of the team will either go out and support these two girls or start preparing for saturdays relay event.
Thats all folks! Troy and the crew

Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
