Maroondah Dam - I'm BACK bitch!

Friday 18th February - 5:35pm,
I walk in the door at home and smash a beer, then a couple of vodka sodas, a couple of scotch's on the rocks for measure, and I top it off by skulling a beer as I walk out the door at 7:20pm for the Wholesale Banking New Year's party.
(Free grog, and no food at this place)>

the night was hairy but i survived the xmas party pretty well. Sure i stood out: what with my juggling two to three drinks at all times, and my ten pin bowling turning into throwing the ball down the lane with absolutly no care and hitting the gutters within metres of leaving my hands.
OK. It was the flamin' waterfall at the pub after the party that did me in. I barely got it down and then i did - and then the room started spinning, and so i went home and smashed my mindless, numb brain up somewhat.

Saturday 19th February - all day,
I throw up on corners in Flemington, Marybnong, and finally North Melbourne.

Sunday 20th February - 10:00am, 30km trail run,
"ENJOY YOUR RUN FOLKS"

"SHIT" uphill!
For 5k's.

"SHIT" - "dying, dying - ahh, my sweat tastes like alcohol. I'm like 100 fuckin degrees, i'm buring up, I gotta stop, i'm an idiot, this is too hard". "FUCKME"!

I was somewhat born again on this run.
My splits were:
0-5km: 51:20
5-10km: 29:45
10-15km: 27:26
15-20km: 24:23
20-25km: 24:00
25-30km: 16:42


I was stoked with my final time of: 2:53:02

I finished 12th overall, out of the 106 30km runners.

I finished 11th out of the men, as one lady ran 10th overall (great effort by her and all involved).

'ey Run.
