wintry weather at last

DICKSON TRAINING cancelled!
Today's planned training session at Dickson has been cancelled owing to the weather. All ACT sports-grounds are closed, which means there wouldn't be any lights. Anyway, it is wet cold miserable dark and windy.

How to choose an event
Inspired by Ewen - see his excellent post here ... explaining why the 5k will be his major focus in the foreseeable future.
Ewen's table

	Marathon	5k	100 metres	Olympic Tri
Like racing it	2	9	4	5
Like the training	6	10	5	4
Good at it	2	5	3	2
Friends do it	7	7	1	2
Emotional attachment	6	9	2	2
	23	40	15	15

... I have created my own table similar to his.
My version of the table

	1500	3k/5k	10k	Half Marathon	Marathon
Like racing it?	9	8	7	9	8
Like the training?	6	6	6	4	2
Good at it?	8	6	5	4	6
Friends do it?	5	7	10	10	10
Emotional attachment	2	3	2	3	4
	30	30	30	30	30

Which does not seem to be of much help.

Queenslanders are strange
A sign on our way out of Brisbane: "Warrego Wines, open 5 days, Thurs - Sun"

"Customs" could be a little cold on Friday but I plan to run it. See you there.
