Training Log Archive: NSW Stinger

Clontarf to Manly and back, then to Spit bridge and back. With Ben, Prong and Damon at a good pace. Felt good, but hungry, very hungry

with Prong (in Supersonic) and Damon and Ben (in Mirage730), from Clontarf up Middle harbour, past roseville bridge to sandbar corner and back. Took me ages to get the steering right, but when we went straight, we went fast. Boat was a bit tippy, but not too bad on flat water.

Just wrote a big story on the race, but accidently deleted it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not happy. Finished 3rd behind Dave Meyer, and Prong. At least i beat Fatrat.
Awesome race, pathetic turnout.

Warm-up, cooldown/warmup, cooldown

Had to quickly fit in a session between work and JWOC committee meeting. Down to UTS-Lindfield, then 5 laps of 100m on, 100m off. Felt a bit tight from last nights cricket.

C • committee meeting 2

Made my competitive return to cricket last night, with my debut for 'the radiographers' (my brother Davids works indoor cricket team). Opened the batting with David, who was in awesome form in the first over. When i first looked at the board we were 38 of 5balls. I thought it has obviously been a while since my last game because i can't even remember how to score. Turns out the team go thumped in their opening game, hence started with a 20run head start. Anyway 42 runs off the first over. Then i got cleaned up by a ball of good length (always been my weakness), then few dodgy run-out decisions and after 4 overs we were still only 48. I just couldn't get out of the habit of hit-and-run. Our team was well on our way pass the century, until one guy got hatricked. Bowled out 3 balls in a row. Our total was 99. They had a solid opening partnership scoring 32 runs. Then next pair got hammered (thanks to 3 wickets in my opening over) and the score was 28 at half way. But just as i got my hopes up, the last two pairs ran away with it and we lost 130-99. Good run, and i don't even feel that sore the next day. Might head to Uppsala later in the year for some curry and a bit of outdoor action .

C • Good work getting away with no... 1

Felt strong tonight, and more moonlight made it easier.

Flat to Weir and back before and after tempo session

with Ben, Prong and Glenn. Started from Lane Cove weir and ran at tempo along Fairyland to end of golf course, turned around and back again. Ben was on fire and did a 3rd lap.
Very happy with my form esp after yesterday's bollocking. Maybe 2x Chicken schnizel burger + chips in 24hrs is the secret to success! Felt really good on first lap but tired a little on the small hills coming back.
Pulled up quite stiff when i stopped running
