Noosa Tri

Tomorrow I am heading to Noosa where I will hopefully be competing in the Noosa Triathlon. There's only one problem......I'm sick!

Yep, you heard right.

This has one main problem! We can't pull out so if I can't do it my dad will have to do it himself.

What's wrong with that you ask?

Look at his gut and you'll see why this is so unreasonable!

Update on Life

Because I have a hectic life involving large amounts of television watching I have no time to write blog posts. That is why I'm way behind.

So because I'm so incredible interesting I'll give you an update on My life.

A few months back I completed the Gold Coast Full marathon with only one training session. I did this for two reasons: 1) So Jack couldn't brag about being the only one to have done one and 2) to prove to everyone that training is pointless and we can do whatever we want without training. Because I am an Incredible gifted athlete I manage to finish in what I expect to be a new world record of 5 hours and 23 minutes.

My life pretty much revolves around soccer and NCIS so the last few week have been heaven because not only have their been several repeats of NCIS on but it's Finals time. My soccer team managed to make 3rd place so we we're into the second semi-final playing in an elimination match against Murwullumbah. We had beaten them only a few weeks earlier so we went in confident but we lost all confidence when their star player scored a miricle goal 5 minutes in. The game became even again with only minutes to go in normal time so we had to go to extra time. The extra time was pretty dull but with only minutes to go until a penalty shootout disaster struck.

Our defender accidenatally took out the opposition sticker in the box and gave away a penalty.

Are you nervous?

I'm nervous just writing about it and I knew the end result months ago!

Ohhhh, back with the story. They lined up the penalty and the penalty went right but our keeper went left..........but if you think closely our keepers left is their strikers right, so he saved it and we went to a penalty shootout!!!!

The opposition won the toss and shoit first. But again our keeper was to good for them and he saved it. We scored our first penalty with ease and then our keeper save it again. This continued another two times until our winger had a penalty to win the game......he scored. yay.

So off to the second semi we went.

That was an easy game so I won't even bother writing about it (we won two nill).

The next match was the Grand Final against our Arch enemies Mudgeraba at Carrara Stadium. We went into the match expecting to get smashed but due to alot of luck and skill on my part we took an early lead and managed to expand on it and eventually win 3-0.

Holidays..........

At the moment it's the September holidays and my holidays have basically consisted of playing soccer and watching Movies. So my plan is to keep updating this blog but I really doubt I'll remember to write anything. So until next time, bye-bye!

Kokoda 09

Due to my stupidity I decided t do the Kokoda challenge again and not surprisingly it was really hard. We went into the event hoping to crack 19 hours but after about 15 meters we gave up on that idea and concentrated on telling each other lame jokes and talking about movies. So we made it to the first major checkpoint in an awesome time and decided that if we wanted to survive the weekend we should walk slowly. So we walked and walked and walked and walked and walked. And finally we made it to Mudgeraba (the finish).

We ended up finishing in a reasonable time of 22 hours. Which is still 7 hours ahead of last year time. Because of even more stupidity I have decided to do it again next year.

Bye

The Long Road To The 2009 Kokoda Challenge

The Long Road To The 2009 Kokoda Challenge has just begun with a 26km walk on one of the hardest sections of the track. It began with a massive hill followed by a 15km loop through creeks and over mountains before going back over the hill we started.

But before we could begin our training the teacher in charge called a meeting for all the people who were interested. In 2008 we had 25 people interested which was a good number because it could easily be made into 3 teams, so when nearly 100 people turned up I began to panic. But as always they are soft and that groups dropped to 40 in only a few hours in the bush!

Cairns

Well, a few months back I made the Gold Coast Volleyball team to compete in Cairns last weekend. So off I went to sunny Cairns to spend 4 night in some randoms house. We played 8 games all up and made the top 8 in the state (out of eight). So after having a few big losses we decided to leave Cairns and never speak of it again!
