plans for the long weekend:

  • Saturday - parkrun, golf (first round of foursomes with Tammie)
  • Sunday - off to Melbourne (AM), maybe some caching, Wings for Life World Run 9pm
  • Monday - some caching, back to Canberra (PM), street O @ Macquarie-Cook

on the subject of the Wings for Life World Run, I posted this on FB but you can enter via my blog too:

"Sunday night I am running in the Wings for Life World run which is taking place at 34 locations around the world starting simultaneously at 11:00am UTC time which means 9pm in Melbourne for me...the run has a twist as the finish line (aka The Catcher Cars) chases you!

Here's how it works - runners start at 9pm with the Catcher Cars starting at 9:30pm at 15kph, at 10:30pm the speed increases to 16kph, 11:30pm to 17kph, 12:30am to 20kph and finally 2:30am 35kph until the final participant is passed...

Last year's winners did the following distances:

  • Melbourne (different course): male 70.66k (10th globally), female 50.75 (7th)
  • Global: male 79.90k (location - Lower Austria), female 56.33k (Takashima)

My rough goal is 23k and my challenge to you is to guess how far I will actually go - with a prize(s) for the person that guesstimates the closest to my official result (make your guess to two decimal places)...note, once I go past your guess you are out 😜...

Guess away!
