Saturday Post

8:30 am - Cycling

One goal done 101 miles on the clock. Had to do ten miles last night and fifteen this morning but at least it's done - need to look at my routine and work out where it's going wrong - have got golf at 11:51 so didn't really want to have to do an hour and a bit's worth of cycling really.


Garmin Training Center cycling record for week ending 17/11/07


Gym goal am not going to make as although I did 3 sessions I did say (and then forgot) that if it was less than 40 minutes it wouldn't count and on Thursday all I did was 35 miles on treadmill as had to go shopping. Never mind, it wasn't far off. Have got a mile or two of running to do to finish off the running goal and then that one's sorted.

11:52 Golf

Third Winter League match and thus far we have a 100% record. We played two brothers Vernon (18 handicap) and Peter (28 handicap). It was a to and fro sort of a match for much of it but John and myself managed to scrape to 3 up after the 13th hole only to get in to a bit of a fix with just being 1 up on the 17th tee. I sank a six footer to halve the 17th so we couldn't lose going down the 18th. We could however draw it which we didn''t really want to do. Peter the 28 handicapper had played really well for the whole round and hit his second shot to about 8 feet from 170 yards out!! Both John and myself made bad second shots and neither of us really put them under pressure after the third shots. I was about twenty-five feet past the hole which wasn't a whole lot of good. So it looked for all the world like we were going to lose the 100% win record and have to settle for a half (draw), but it ain't over 'til it's over and I drained the 25 footer - it must have gutted 'em!!! Peter didn't make the eight footer for birdie and we took home the bacon again!!! 100% record still intact, three out of three! Good stuff!

9.10 In the Long Run

Finished off the fifteen mile running target by doing a two-mile loop tonight. Total of 16 miles at an average of 5.2mph over 3hrs 4mins and a total of 2000 calories.


Been hard graft these targets this week. Not sure why it was so hard - needs a bit of better planning I reckon!!
