Devonport Carnival - Day 2 (but really Day 1)

Don't let the sunshine and blue sky fool you. What you can't see in the photos is the wind. I truly think that Devonport and Burnie are the windiest places in Australia. Both runners and bike riders struggled when they headed into the wind. Some of the poor Little Athletes were blown backwards as the struggled down the straight. Lach and Cal competed in the 400m and competed well. Neither made it through to the final which was won by Tasmanian Jacob Despard. They both also ran in the 70m and both made it to the semis but again failed to progress to the final. It was a good fun day as always. Just a pity that the shortened program didn't allow enough time for the 200m and the Two Fat Men on Bikes race. (Always a favourite of mine!)
