Discus

24.40m (edit: seems I mis-heard, should be 22.25m) - first PB of the night, improved by over 2m from my previous best...

the wind was starting to pick up & make it decidedly cooler by the time we moved to the

Shot Put

7.89m - only managed 3 throws in this before I had to duck off for the 7 Lap Spiral...another PW (LOL)...

7 Lap Spiral (2959.66m)

after my 6 Lap effort my start group was changed from 38 to 35...as with the 6 Lap this was my first attempt therefore I'm claiming a PB!...finished 26th...(edit: still waiting for my official time, edit: 14:12) ...start group has gone from 35 to 33...

All those track 'n field pbs! By the time track season resumes in October, you will be jumping out of your skins, or skin with brand new heels, or whatever.

Is there nothing you can't do Allrounder? I was aware of course of your running, golf and cricket - but now discus and shot put!!

I imagine you will be watching the world cup cricket from the West Indies?
