They promised that Thursday, our 4th day here, would be the hottest – up around 40 degrees, and it certainly lived up to expectations, with rain coming in during the afternoon increasing the humidity ten-fold.  Good fast racing conditions!

Southland's Stephanie McKenzie backed up her medal-winning deeds from last night to claim a second championship bronze medal in the Women's Keirin tonight at the Oceania Track Cycling Champs in Adelaide.

Where to start!! Race day dawned absolutely SCORCHING! We were down at the track well before the first session, checking the area was clear of snakes!
