I completed the 12km course from the city of Adelaide to Glenelg, which has the major benefit of being flat and ever so slightly downhill. Last year I managed to run the course in 1:13:20. This year I managed to break 6 minutes a kilometre and ran 1:10:26, a nice improvement. The only downer is that a work colleague managed to run a time about 40 seconds faster than me, incentive for next year I think.

To put that in perspective the world record for the 5000m is 13 minutes flat so I’m not getting too cocky but still the improvement is nice.

An embarassment of subs helped.

There are now 2 Masters of Spin teams and I’m not sure how that will work out. Come out and see us at 8:30 if you like. We will be in the south parklands just east of Goodwood Rd.

The Mojo Ninja’s played zone on us nearly all night but near the end they were too tired to do it effectively and we were gaining on them substantially.

I don’t know that I contributed that much. I had one of those nights where you feel like the Energizer Bunny is on the other team and your inferior quality battery just can’t cut it against the competition. I think it had something to do with the lack of sleep on the weekend :)
