WOW Long time no post!

Well its official, I have now registered with Western Athletics once again. Hopefully I can get in a few races and help the boys head toward Division 1.

I cant believe its been almost a month since my last post. Time has flown and not much has happened. Training is going well and I am looking forward to the City to Casino in Hobart on May 17. Last year I ran the 7km event but this year I will have a crack at the 11km.

I headed to Heritage Forest this arvo to run the LAC 7km Handicap but left somewhat peeved. The races are due to start at 1pm every Saturday. Today they were to hold the AGM at 12:45, prior to the 1pm start. I headed off for my warm up at 12:45, thinking that with my handicap I would be off and running at about 1:20. When I got back at 1:15 and saw that the AGM had not yet started I was rather pissed off. I knew that this meant the race would not begin for at least half an hour and I would need to either keep moving or warm up once again. Upon speaking to the club President as to why there was a delay and getting an answer that in my opinion wasnt satisfactory, I decided I would pull the pin and run home instead. So all up, 70 minutes easy and no workout.

If a race is advertised to start at a certain time then lets get it going. If people cant register before the advertised start time then stiff shit. A 10 or 15 minute delay isnt so bad but 40 minutes is not good enough. Of the 3 LAC races this year, 2 have started late. The first one was an hour late!!! Im not the only one who was disappointed today as a few people were vocal in their thoughts.

An easy 2 hours tomorrow (can a 2hr run be easy?????) and hopefully it wont be a chilly morning. We have had a few of those recently and I cant say Im liking it too much.

Is it just me or has this post been one big whinge????
