Well finally on holiday and seriously enjoying the sun and relaxation of the in-laws at Cairns. Have spent the morning in the pool with kids and probably going for a wander to the beach this afternoon - certainly better than the FY12 budget meeting that was scheduled for today. It is also helping to erase the painful memories of yesterday's Corp Cup debacle. Slowest run of the series with a 25.20 and almost embarrassed to admit that online. Just felt ike I had nothing in the legs yesterday, chest also felt a bit wheezy for some reason, and the changed course did not help by adding fleet steps twice. Only thin that made my time bearable was Adam's who did roughly 27.30, and while I shouldn't take heart from his backward slide (he is four minutes slower than this time last year) I do. Quite a cruel approach given he notched up 50 runs yesterday. O also need to give a big shout (trying to keep it real for the young readers) to Mr Donnelly who hit his 200th run yesterday - a significant acheievement and I think he mentioned he has been doing the corp cup since 1997 which is 1200kms of running in the Corp Cup alone.
A rather long blog today, mainly because I am having to wait for the garmin active x control to download over a Far North Queensland internet connection - 5Mb took over 5 minutes - bring on the NBN!!!
All done now so here are the stats from yesterday and they are not pretty http://connect.garmin.com/activity/79091583 but then again, I'm sittig in tropical queensland and don't really care now.
Hoping to get out for a run tomorrow to get some lonegr kms into the legs ahead of the half.
Enjoyed the lunch today. Probably a good thing I only just read this otherwise the conversation could have been a little too lively :-)
