World Cup Final

Sat
AM - 4x2km (9min cycle) avg 7:14's - 7:01, 7:06, 7:30, 7:18, With Megan in Bum Bandit Park, she improved again 2sec quicker than last time, avg 7:45's with 1min less recovery on heavy ground. Pissed down through the sesh, by the 3rd rep we were running in a bog.

PM - 10km 43:12 Solo around The Bay.

Sun
AM - 24km-2hrs Narrowneck, lack of fitness really exposed with the thinner air and hills. Struggled to hang on to Caleb and Benny Saint even though they were doing it easy, got dropped up a hill at 17km's and crawled home from there.

PM - 14km-62:03 Around The Bay with Rilen and Belinda, I was after a Sunday stroll but the girls were pretty fresh and moving at a good clip.

Ran without strapping tape, Sat PM and both Sun runs, I actually feel pretty good - will try a speed sesh sans tape on Tuesday, hope it works it'll save me a fortune.

155km's for the week, battled a bit, but still moving forward.

Looking forward to the Rugby Semi which is really the final. The World Cup has been a great event despite the lack of depth in the sport, a bit unlucky that the Rugby League test was on this afternoon, makes Union look pedestrian. I placed a bet on a Wales vs Australia Final, that'll teach me to bet on a sport that punishes good play and encourages conservatism. The Welsh skipper smashed the French winger who had no right to be running the ball straight through the ruck. Reward for being a superior athlete, sent off, what a joke! Regardless of that incident the Welsh were easily the better athletes and better structured team but completely blew it, lacking composure when it mattered and missing some gift attempts at goal.
