Training Log Archive: Golfer

Helped Deb put out controls and tapes for tomorrow's club event at Connorton. I only did the Green and Orange so I can run tomorrow. Not a lot of fast running! Best aspect: a brilliant Autumn morning; worse aspect: the grass seeds in socks and shoes!!!

Golf: 4 ball at the Country Club. I was pretty much a non-contributor on the front 9, getting on the card just once as my partner carried me to 22 points! Back nine I did much better, scoring on all but 1 hole but we only managed 19 points for a total of 41, with the winners on 50. Magnificent day to be out on the course despite the poor effort.

Finally time for a run! Enjoyable afternoon plod (to steal Briohny's term) around the Lake from home and back along Lansdown. Great conditions, cool, no wind and lots of water in the Lake, and lots of people out and about, walking, running, cycling, water skiing!

To Sydney on morning flight and home on the evening flight - long day!

Had planned to go for a ride this afternoon but had a few holdups and things to do at home so didn't happen!

Out of town so could only manage a 5 km walk after work.

A great start through to 3 had me in the lead by over 2 minutes on GrantM, the eventual winner, but then my now usual stuff-ups occurred, this time in a big way. Lost map contact on the way to 4 and ended up about 10 contours too low. Eventually relocated but the extra climb hurt. Started well towards 5 hitting an attack point about halfway but then stopped short and got badly mixed up with gullies and rock everywhere. Finally relocated off a watercourse but the combined time loss for these 2 legs was around 15 minutes - ouch! Rest was generally good apart from a slight wobble at 10 but the extra climb and running took its toll.

Probably my worse result in some time but all credit to the winners especially GrantM who, as I predicted some months back, is proving very tough to beat this year.
