Warm up with Matt, out and back along the course.

Woodbridge Parkrun with Matt. Steady for the first 3-4km then picked some targets up ahead to try to chase down. The first target Matt said was too far ahead but as soon as he said that he stopped to tie his shoelaces, which halved the gap, and then shortly after restarting he started to walk so we had to pick a new target. We picked out a girl in a blue top as an ambitious next target but again she started to walk before we got close, only this time she started again soon after we went past and made a big effort to catch us again. A couple of times I thought we had broken her but she kept coming again and we ended up sprinting right to the line. I was a step ahead of Matt and then another step back to the girl but the finish marshall gave the girl the token ahead of Matt, much to his disgust. A 23 second PB for Matt and he said he felt he could go a minute faster.

Signed Amy up for summer pennants today so took her over to the Hollywood courts for a bit of practice with Liam. A few minutes after we arrived Jurie Terblanche and his dad started on the other court. About 10 minutes later someone else turned up looking for a court and had a bit of an argument with Jurie and Ockert before giving up and going away. One of the courts was much drier than the other so when Jurie wanted to start playing some points I offered to swap courts since Amy and I weren't running much. When Amy wanted to stop Liam still wanted to hit a bit more so I hit with Liam for another 10 or 15 minutes. The court really was a bit too slippery for that but I just managed to stay on my feet.
