I am stoked to win this event which after 2 events gives me the No. 1 tour ranking for the 2010 tour season so far.
The next event is Cabarette in June, can’t wait!
I was really lucky to get home as my flights in France and from Heathrow were cancelled because of the volcanic ash clouds over all Europe..
I was woken up early on Friday, the day after the competition, with news to get packed up as quick as possible, as I was going to Barcelona, Istanbul and home instead of Paris, London then home!!!!
These are the people I wish to thank for helping me get home to Australia and escape the volcanic ash:
My brother Peter for coming to France with me and for his support
Mélanie from Office Municipal de Tourisme de Leucate.
Pascal Maka, event organizer, for arranging my car transport to Barcelona at such short notice. Without Pascal I could not have got to Barcelona on time for the flights.
Ben Earl from Flight Centre Mooloolaba. Your time and expertise to check all possibilities and finally grab the last 2 seats on the Turkish Airlines flights is much appreciated.
And finally to Qantas for changing our flights to get us home from Singapore on Sunday, a day earlier than scheduled. As always Qantas is really professional and helpful, and the lounges are great on these long haul flights.
This worked out well for me but I really feel sorry for all the travelers stranded by the flight disruptions. I hope it resolves soon.
Of course this whole trip would not have been possible without the support of my sponsors--- Slingshot International and Australia, Mystic, SolRx sunscreen, SunCoast Cable, Kawana Fitness and Endura Sports Nutrition. And also the Mondial Du Vent organizer and their sponsors for putting on an awesome event, despite some frustrating weather conditions.
