As Melbourne experiences a major heat wave Tahoe Donner goes the opposite way.

13/1/2013

 
As the cool front moves in 10 intelligent witty  teenagers brave the Icy cold weather, blizzard  snow fall and  1 meter vision to compete in a 5 km classic night race . With brilliant attire of USA leggings , giraffe onesies  ,  coloured pants and retro Lycra the team was set to go for gold. With an extremely large and competitive field of 4 non Australian races it was to be that the Australians were to dominate.  As the wax tecs peeped for 30 mins before the race , the wax did not exactly work but the walking on stilts due too snow sticking the wax and the lack of grip provided time for the circus of skiers to focus on technique and to admire the view (or the snow in their eyes ). The circus master JC set high expectations for his crew but everyone did really well and in the end the performance was above and beyond expectations and it was well worth the price of the ticket. In breaking news Ewan Watson ex - australian team member has come out of retirement to compete in his first major race. In even better news he managed to defend the name of the Australians and hold back 3 of the non Aussie  competitors coming in a respectable 2nd. After collecting some well deserved chum and demolishing all food in site the spot prizes were distributed to  everyone and a new race began. It was Jc , Olivia , Jeremy , Emma and alecia who managed it to the car first. Whilst the others looked on as the car pulled out it was Jc who felt sorry for his lonely circus performers in there crazy outfits and now after race coughs who turned around to collect them. After returning to the now clean house due to the team effort of the cleaning gang. It was time for the races second dinner and a chat before the night was to end with one circus member being wheeled out . Until the next day it's good bye from the circus tent .
