It was another session of Rose Garden - or possibly Flower Garden, not many roses to be seen - 200s, with Colin running 13 on 2:20; Paul Q, Jen, Isaac, and Kevin running 12 on 2:30; Jennie and Celina running 10 on 3:00; and Denis 9 on 3:30. I supervised, having jogged earlier, and Dave ran laps, 14 in all, probably.

Sleeping on it does work - if you can sleep!
Planning ahead is, however, essential.
What relays shall we do next Monday?
[The last Monday before daylight saving begins.]
There will be relays. More in October on Mondays, too.
But from Thursday 10th we start Thursday training at Stromlo Forest Park - longer intervals.

Last night "we few" (that's a palindrome) went to the Rose Gardens for our longer version of relays in teams of three, then our shorter version in teams of two. Worked well. Running the relays were Bernardo, James, Shane, Jacob, Allie, Peach, Kevin, me, Chloe, Celina, Paul Q, Deborah D, and Clare. Also seen were Warrick, Dave, and Christopher.
Not all of us are in the pic.

Highlights – 14 September. A rare run by Miranda at Coombs; I pip Ruth at Ginninderra as we celebrate Clare’s 50th run (and her new PB 23:25), Lorna’s first run as a W90 after storms caused cancellation of last week’s Bowral parkrun.
Canberra 100 14 September
From Jacob Grooby:
"Great running by the SpeedyGeese at Saturday's Sri Chinmoy 100km relay.
"A big thank-you (from everyone, I'm sure) to Jen Bright for the huge amount of work that went in to organising all the teams and for supporting each of us on the day. I'm sure only half of us would have made it to the start line without your efforts!

Also, Richard was a DNF soloist, Bernardo powered home to run a Queanbeyan team into third place, and I thought Cookie’s first leg run was a blinder. Just one of many fabulous performances.

We had three person teams running the short loop south of the Rose Gardens: teams were Jennie, Ruth, Yelena; Paul, James, me; Bernardo, Colin, Shane. George jogged around and filled in for me on one of the loops, and Dave was somewhere nearby, I thought I saw Christopher once, and I didn't see Joel but Joel arrived to collect his two daughters from Yelena while we were out warming up. Light spring drizzle was no problem.

There are nine speedy geese teams, and I will have to cheer loudest of all for two of them, "Moore Flocking Geese" and "Moore Geese than Ganders". Geese and Goats feature in several other team names.
Good luck everyone.
