We arrived in Sweden

at 2 p.m (8 a.m. at home) we arrived at our hotel. The weather was sunny with a few clouds and 17 C. We have been told that it was sunny every day for the past 4 days and late afternoon they had a rain shower - let's hope it stays that way for the next few days.
After a visit to the test scales we had to go for a run because we were 4 kg over. This was a good opportunity to jogg over to the competition area and check it out. The grounds are very well set up for the World Championships. While we were jogging in the woods behind the pulling area we did see 2 moose, they crosses the path about 100 feet in front of us. Most of us had never seen a live moose in Canada and only after beeing here in Sweden for 3 hours we run across two of them. After our return to the hotel we went for the official weigh-inn - 635 kg was our weight for the 640 class. Now we could go and eat, the food was excellent.
