Excuses, Excuses...
« on: October 18, 2008, 02:52:16 PM »
I'm not watching the Chinese Grand Prix live tomorrow or participating in the post-race chat.

I've got a decent excuse though. I'm swimming in a local swimming gala, so when the red lights go out, I'll be on a minibus. By the time the chequered flag waves, I may well be finishing my first race of the day (depending on how the competition is organized and what events I'm doing). It was a total surprise - only heard just under half an hour ago - and I'm really excited, since it's my first competition all year.

Well yes I do - I'd be mistaken for one of the Reading Cygnets team and be thrown out of the building (it's a regional-level event and they're from a completely different region!)

In case you're wondering, my team has dark blue swimming gear with light blue trim. It looks really smart - I just hope I still fit in my competition costume...

Good luck Ali.  You won't miss much - Lewis will lead from the pole and then beach it on his way to his last pit stop. >:D

Thank you dare, Neil, the Wiz, ScottyD, Ian, Cos, Steven and Lonny!

I had a great time at the gala. This turned out to be in Grantham (not Gainsborough as I'd initially thought). I did two stints in relays, got two sixth places, won two golds and broke three personal best times. Considering it was my first gala this year, I was very impressed with myself.

And I did fit into my costume after all...

 :yahoo: WOW! Excellent performance Ali!   :yahoo:

I'm glad you had a great time and your results certainly reflect you efforts and enthusiasm - a big WELL DONE from Mrs Wiz and I.

(I'm sure there was never any doubt about the costume  ::))

Well done, indeed, Ali! :good:  Looks like you've started the season on a high note.

About the costume: The last time I went to the beach, a bunch of save-the-whales people kept trying to drag me back into the ocean! :-[
