In a near death experience, literally, the Aussies have confirmed themselves as the short course favourites. In the teams first serious attempt at a 500m PB, the Aussies strolled past the 1:33 warmup pace set by the England Team to cruise to a comfortable 1:29.0 PB. With a 1000m PB attempt set for later in the week ... it could all come down to who is game enough to put their bodies through another 2000m event!

Oop, that's the ambulance at the front door ... gotta go.
