Event: Jorgensen Park
 

Gentle cruise out from the camp near Bindoon around some random roads, past an old school site and generally just drifting along enjoying the relaxation. Wish I knew my way around enough to just go fence jumping and run around some random farm paddocks and hills, but kept to the road verge for the most part.

Same fitness session as the other 2 times this week.

Brian returned from last week (despite saying he wouldn't), Mat sent a sms to let me know he couldn't make it, Andre and Shanel in SA, tRicky was there to smash everyone, Brenda back for the second time ever and finally got to put a face to Anne's name after having her on the mailing list for ages.

Will look up how much slower this is than normal some time soon

A little fitness session with year 9's Down the stairs at Clayton's beach, along the sand to the first big rocks, turn around and back up the stairs x 5.

After a long mental battle this morning following my 5:30am alarm, I finally got up and was actually feeling pretty positive and enthusiastic about the chance to cruise for an hour or so before work. As I was pulling into the driveway at work, I remembered that I was coaching cross country at 7am, which didn't leave time for a run. Bugger. Did a bit of work till 7 and nobody had showed up. Got a bit frustrated and went back to working. One kid showed up at 7:05, so I took him for a session (ie he ran, I sat in the corner and stretched.) At least he tried hard.

Felt a bit less grumpy after getting the HR up for a bit doing this silly stair run. Not surprisingly, despite having a gentle cruise, I comfortably beat all the kids (they have a 20 minute time limit.)

Not the smartest way to get a little bit of 'training' in...

Cross country with the year 10 students. I ran off the front so I was back in time to make sure the sickies got the timing right, so 3km hard with no warm-up. Probably explains why the second lap was 13 seconds faster than the first. Take 13 seconds off the overall time and I'd be a little less depressed.

C • tRicky's time 2

Little sand and stair loop for a fitness class. One of the kids actually beat me. Not that I was trying hard, but I was still surprised. Welcome to the interschool team, buddy.
