| Out at 'Rural Acres' this afternoon, placing controls, streamer trails and the like - my minor event is on tomorrow. Great place to be course setting. Weather forecast looks OK - I hope the club gets a reasonable turn out. It's a bit further to travel (Singleton) than normal! |

| Jogging outside, then stretching inside, watching the Olympics, and thinking what a significant departure from the norm the uniforms of the Brazilian womens Basketball team are. |

| Event: City to Surf

| Running race 1:01:35 [5] 14 km (4:24 / km) vdot: 47.1 | |

| 'City 2 Surf'. Really thrilled with my effort today. Along with lil nic and joshwa I was able to come up with a PB. Calf felt 'iffy' for a while early, but I just felt stronger and more confident as the run progressed. Can't explain it, but immensely happy. Might even get a few less seconds yet as this was my stop watch time, and I started it on the gun, and not when the 'magic timing chip initiating line' was crossed.
PS Official results are in - I picked up another 35 seconds thanks to the 'magic timing chip'. Gotta love technology!! |
