Training Log Archive: Golfer

At the Beach again but a different course to December, out and back to the Copland St roundabout. Started OK, feeling pretty good but it didn't last past about 2 km when I slowed down due to "wheeze" in the chest again. Felt pretty wasted at the end.

Comp golf in 35+ temps. Played a 4BBB and my partner (8 marker) and I were going pretty well until the 13th where we both wiped. We just couldn't get going after that and only scored a miserable 16pts for the whole back nine, 8 of which came at 10, 11 and 12! We finished on 39pts which was well off the mark set by our playing partners with 50. After the 12th we were level with them but fell away badly.

Was overall very happy with driving and hit quite a few long and straight but chipping and putting were both ordinary.

Afternoon run from Briohny's house back home via Plumpton and Kooringal Rds and then the cemetery and powerline track. Somewhat unplanned and no Garmin so time and distance a bit of an estimate. Struggled with the warm weather and lack of fitness but slowly making progress.

Morning run at the Lake with Briohny. We ran from the dog exercise park to Apex Park and then out through Rawlings Park to Mitchell Rd and back again. Deb was walking Ryder in his pram and we met them at the playground on our way back. Had my first go at pram running and it is hard work!

Still feeling short of breath when running. Hopefully will get better soon otherwise may have to see the Doc.

Morning run with Deb from our hotel in Coogee along the cliff top path. Deb ran to the cemetery between Clovelly and Bronte whilst I went a bit further, almost to Bronte, and then turned back. Very hard work with lots of stairs and climb, both up and down. Fitness level at a low after 3 days of cricket watching and golf!

Comp golf at The Coast. This is a nice little course, with some great holes along the cliff tops at Little Bay in Sydney, but fearsome in the wind and it was blowing hard from the north east today! Overall pretty happy with 32 points comsidering I lost 4 balls in the scrub or over the cliffs!
