I ran the Summer Series race last night. Not fast, but with good place judgement. My hamstring was very sore so I ran with Strewth and eased back to let her finish ahead of me. She was 76th, I was 77th. Then for the $50 Runners shop barrel draw prize number 75 was drawn. Don’t blame me, I had told Strewth to pass the next runner in front of her but she didn’t. Runner 75 wasn’t there so they did a redraw, and it was mine, 77. Funnily I would have left if it wasn’t for Mick C stopping me and getting something from me, which took a few moments. Then I was just about to drive off when my number was called out and Strewth called me back. So by the time I share out my prize with Mick C and Strewth, I might have enough of it left to buy some shoelaces. But to win a voucher was a brilliant example of good place judgement.
