Capital Run...

yesterday I removed the last of my stuff from Harrison and took a trailer load to the tip, a first time tow for my car...

found two caches on the way to golf...

golf was average after last week's effort but it was a nice day to be playing...ended up 7 over my handicap...

found two more caches on the way home...

today I was up early for the inaugural Capital Run...the weather was perfect with just the hint of a breeze...

my aim was to run sub 70 and I managed to do that with 30secs to spare although I was a bit worried at the 10k mark...my Garmin measured the course at 14.26 which is somewhat similar to the C2S...the first k marker appeared to be short then the next 3-4 were about right before my Garmin beeped earlier and earlier for the rest...I did check my times as I passed the 5k (24:03), 7k (34:05) and 10k (49:45) markers...

mum & dad met me at the finish and drove me to O'Connor so I could watch Jodie player soccer for the Lanyon Masters women's team in their semi final against Tuggeranong...the score was 0-0 at half time before Lanyon scored three goals in the space of about 10 minutes with Jodie scoring the third one from a corner...Tuggeranong then fought back to score two goals with the second being an own goal...Tuggeranong pushed hard for an equaliser but couldn't finish it off...the final will be next week against the Weston Creek Spirit...

Jodie gave me a lift back to my car in Phillip before we headed to Greenway to watch the ACTWAFL Grand Final between Tuggeranong and Eastlake...I was going for Tuggeranong given that they were the only team we couldn't get close to matching all season...they ended up winning 43-27...

tomorrow I have to be back at Harrison by 8am to let the cleaners in and to hand over the keys to the real estate agent at 8:30am...planning on attending speedygeese after work!
