52nd out of 211...62.79%...8th female out of 114th...2nd W45-49 out of 20...

it was stableford for golf this week...I had had 87 off the stick (no wipes) to finish with 35pts but I had 5 3-putts in that which cost me 5pts...the winning score was 39, d'oh!...still it was a flagged score for me so my handicap will be 12 next game...

afterwards we called in to Jodie & Lisa'sand ended up staying for dinner and watching the first half of the AFLW State of Origin match between Victoria and the Allies (I watched the second half at home)...

it was overcast when I got up this morning...in fact, there was some light rain on the drive to the start...

I put some clothes in a bag for the baggage truck then took my place in the start about 10m back from the front..

the start ended up being delayed for 30mins due to State Circle not being closed on time...I spent most of that time chatting to Scott M and Chris G...

I had a goal of sub-70 and knew that Thomo and his fellow pacer were about 40m back...they ended up catching and passing me at about 4.5k so tried to keep them in sight...

it was hard to judge off the k markers as there were none for 7k (although you could see the marking on the road), 8k nor 9k...the markers after that seemed to be well out of whack...I looked at my watch with about 100 or so metres to go and saw 69:37...I felt like I put in a finish worthy of Usain Bolt as I stopped the clock at 69:59!...even better was finding out that my official result matched, woot!

I caught up with Thomo, Stu and a couple of others post-run before finding mum & dad...

we had Father's Day brunch at The Coffee Club in the Canberra Centre before we went our separate ways...

* I've replaced the battery in my HR transmitter as I flatlined for the last 20mins or so of today's run!
