Meanwhile Dickson training last Thursday 28 July, present were (10) Alan, Brett, Bronwyn, Craig, me, Joel, Nadine, Neil, Susan & Yelena. We organised teams of three, to run a 25mins relay on a similar figure 8 course on the slope we used the previous week. The teams were Joel/Nadine/Brett, Bronwyn/Craig/Neil, Alan/Yelena/Susan. Runners jogged a circuit after each hard effort.

Well done everyone, and I heard conditions were close to perfect, with only a few spots of rain falling towards the end.
What I am reading: "The Complete Father Brown Stories", by G. K. Chesterton. These are short whodunnit stories, and very clever in their approach and their plots. A quote from today's story: "He had a sort of half purpose, which he took just so seriously that its success would crown the holiday, but just so lightly that its failure would not spoil it". That's a good trick if applied to sport!
