Sporting extravaganza

With Thursday's track 5,000m looming, I decided to run a final tune up. I didn't have the chance to get to the track, instead using my 9.5km route and about 2km in I did 9 x 1 minute efforts with 60 seconds jog recovery. I was aiming to run these at 5km race pace but difficult to judge speed when it's so windy.

The remainder of the lap I jogged home so all up 9.5km in 37:06 (ave 3:54's).

The sporting rivalry with the Dad continued with 9 holes around the local golf course. I was rubbish (normal) and my Dad was even worse. Golf is difficult enough as it is but when it's blowing a gale it's a different gravy. I was declared the winner on the countback of least amount of balls lost...
