Big weekend

At around 80kgs, I’m around 5kgs heavier than this time last year. But I had Ironman WA to prepare for last year. On Sunday, I will attempt the Rottnest Marathon at around 5min30s pace. Slow and steady for this little black duck!

Good luck to the BFSR Force team in cyclosportif at the 75km Pickering Brook event this Sunday. I start swimming every Monday evening at Riverton Leisureplex - I hate that black line. I have a work friend who swims 13kms every day for an average of 5hrs. Amazing really.

Had a big bowl of porridge, just about to commute into work. Plenty of dolphins in the Swan River lately - adds to the aesthetics of the trip in.  I’m really looking forward to Anaconda. We’re staying in a big house at Gnarabup. I’m also going to do the John Gilmour event on Friday 31 Oct. 10km of lap running. John’s a fantastic bloke.

Today, time to buy some qoleum gel, carboshotz gels, carboshotz tablets and a decent running top. Dee needs some new ASICS DS Trainers (her favourite running shoe). We’ll start to do some planning soon for tackling the Bibbulmun Track end-to-end in Nov 2009.

Stay fit, healthy.
