Canberra

10km on the treadmill early doors.

Billy did really well in his gymnastics competition an would have medaled but for the vault, which unfortunately he ballsed up. I can relate to that. Scores:

9.0 on parallel bars
8.75 on high bar (normally his weakest)
9.3 on pommel (his favourite)
9.2 on rings
7.25 on vault

Next on The Tourists is Barts.

Has been in scintillating form all season, smashing all his PBs (and mine) after steadily improving week on week since March. Only question mark is the step up in distance to the marathon. Only done one (New York last year) which didn't go to plan. And seeing his face drop while watching at the 32km mark of the Gol Coast marathon was amusing. But he's a different runner this year and has done all the base work.

Tour nickname: Barts
Other nicknames: Bartles
Most likely to: Lead the charge early on and crash by 10pm.
Predicted time: The boys said 2:31. I can't see him failing to get under 2:30. 2:29.
