Bad blogger! Won't upload images today.
How we trained: There was a good turn-out last night at Parliament House for half an hour of 400m run/400m jog. I don't know why, but I was slowest of everyone, I couldn't get the legs to move at all, I dropped off to a distant last before I gave up. So much for the first session of harder track training! Present were Alan, Amanda, Emma, Ewen, me, Helen, Joel, Katie, Ken, Maria, Mick C, Mick H, Miranda, Ruth, Tim & Yelena.
Good luck to Ewen, Ruth & Tim in the C2S this Sunday.
