Woohoo Weekend!

Wonderful weekend in the tiger/gnome household! On Saturday, Macro and I went out to the air show at Richmond. For a person who loathes weapons of any sort, I have a very confusing love of aircraft, even when they are merely purpose built killing machines. Strange... I only took 146 photos. Here's my favourite :-)


Then on Sunday morning, tiger angel and I went our separate ways (if only briefly :-)). TA caught the train to North Sydney to join wildthing & Mr WT in the RTA 'spring cycle' event - a 50km ride from Nth Sydney to Homebush. This was TA's first time back on the roads in almost a year (and a very long year it has been...), so she's stoked that apart from a bit of a cricked neck this morning and some soreness from a bingle when a less-experienced rider decided to do a hard left turn in the middle of a pack, she came through it really well. Triple woo-hoo!!

The reason that I didn't join her in the ride was the Striders' half marathon at Lane Cove. As my near term goal is a massive pb at Central Coast, and as I haven't run a competitive half since last January, I wanted to use this one to give me a picture of where I was at. Super happy to do a one minute pb with a 1:37:47 finish. Yet more woo-hoos :-)

Then finally last night, tiger angel and I saw our lovely daughter-in-law (macro's wife) get baptised. A real fun-filled, special service. What an awesome weekend!

p.s. for the sake of record, I ended up taking TA's advice last week and doing an in-between week - not hard, not easy. Tuesday I couldn't get to the pool, so I did a Mona on grass at a local oval. Wednesday was 10.6k at a 5:18 pace, and at Run Club we did a reducing intervals session - 2x 1380, 2x 920 and 2x 460.
