Weekend wrap...

Saturday

up at 6.00am for a 7.05am start! excellent day to play golf - this was a 2 person team event (4 Ball Best Ball)...managed to get my name down for the "ladies" nearest the pin on the 2nd after somehow fluking it with a good tee shot to within 62cm!!...my partner & I managed 42pts while Suze & her partner managed 38pts...

with the game all over before lunch we still had a day to do things...sooo, called passed mum & dad's to solve a computer issue for them (well Suze did!)...they are off to Ulladulla on Sunday to see a boat & maybe do some whale watching (back Tuesday)...then lazed away the rest of the afternoon, watching TV, reading the paper & a book!

had dinner at Zefferelli's in Belconnen before seeing "The Wrong Man" at the movies...quite an interesting plot...

Sunday

opened the paper to find that my partner & I had won the women's section of the golf while I had managed to hold on to the nearest the pin...woo hoo...

the whole household headed down to the Women & Girls Jogalong...we all did the 6k with Suze starting (walking with Hux) in Group 2, Jodie in Group 19 & yours truly in Group 41...

good to catch up with Tuggeranong Don and quite a few fellow Customs Joggers (Doug, Nick, Tim, Gabrielle...)...

my Group was the last to go & there were 4 of us...pretty pleased with how i ran - a PB for the course proper by about 1 minute (October 05 & January 06 where shortened courses while November 05 i ran it in 28:40)...nice to be back to around 4:30 pace!

didn't passed anyone until just after halfway but gradually reeled in about half the field to finish in 75th spot...Jodie finished about 22nd while Suze made it in 147th place...despite Jodie planning a 6:40 pace run she felt comfortable enough to run closer to sub 6:00 pace (waiting for the official time as she forgot to stop her watch)...Suze finished in just over the hour & probably covered up to 7ks thanks to Hux (who loved all of the attention he got from the runners & walkers!)...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 16.7/51%
start time: 9:34am
total distance: 6.08k
total time: 27:39
avg pace: 4:33
total calories: 454

finish temp/humidity: 17.2/44%

* had to take off the HR strap around the 1.5k mark as it kept slipping (just needed adjustments i couldn't make on the run)

1k splits: 4:21, 4:31, 4:43, 4:32, 4:41, 4:36, 0:15

after stopping at the Yarralumla Bakery for a quick bite to eat (unfortunately it wasn't as good as we hoped), we spent the next couple of hours geo-caching around the Molonglo River, Eastern basin & Campbell...we did 6 all up...

home then before I headed back out to do the grocery shopping (a task i don't normally do during the cricket season)!

tonight we will be tuning in to watch the ICC Champions Trophy final, should be a good match with the West Indies the defending champions & Australia finding form leading into the Ashes...
