ACTVAC Monthly Handicap #26...

yesterday I was one of the timekeeper's at parkrun so I bran to & fro - it was icy cold!...got swooped on the way down on the edge of Lake Tuggeranong...hit me hard in the right shoulder/neck but no damage done...I did take a slightly different route on the way home!

Jodie & I went for a caching walking in the Pinnacle Nature Reserve finding seven then, because we had some time to spare, a short caching walk in Weetangera to find three more...

after grabbing a late lunch we headed to Jamison to watch the Jetettes take on the Magpies in the preliminary final to see who would take on Eastlake in the grand final...the Jets had lost to the 'pies earlier in the season so a tough game was on the cards...

this week the Jets came out firing and kicked the first goal of the game with five in the first quarter - QT: Jets 5.2-32 to 1.0-6

the second quarter was similar - HT: Jets 8.4-52 to 2.3-15

the 'pies came out to play in the third quarter and restricted the Jets to two goals while kicking five themselves - 3QT: 10.5-65 to 7.3-45

the Jets, however, weren't letting go of this opportunity and kept the 'pies scoreless while kicking 2.6 - FT: Jets 12.11-83 to 7.3-45

unbelievable, a maiden grand final appearance for the Jets in next week's GF at Greenway next Sunday @ 4:30pm...nine years in the making!!

this morning I ran the Goorooyarroo ACTVAC Monthly Handicap...I started in Group 32 and crossed the line 39th...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 7.4/73% (apparent temp 3.9)
start time: 9:37am
total distance: 10.05
total time: 50:41 (official 50:44)
avg pace: 5:02
total calories: 707
avg HR: 152
recovery HR: 116/56
heartbeats per k: 765

splits: 5:06, 4:47, 5:23, 5:20, 5:18, 5:12, 5:13, 4:41, 4:55, 4:35, 0:11

it was very fresh at the start due tot he breeze but it only took a couple of ks to warm up...

age 69.7%...I had the 14th fastest time overall...2nd fastest female out of 18 (behind silver medallist Nadine), 2nd fastest W45 out of 2...passed 18, passed by 6...

afterwards I went for a walk around Goorooyarro and found another ten caches...this walk involved some steep hills, not sure if that's the best post-run recovery!

made it home in time to watch the Hawthorn/Collingwood match and what a game it was...the 'pies made the Hawks fight for that double-chance top-4 spot...
