Yours truly closing in on his 3,000m pr Sunday at the Track Pentathlon,Dan Anders took 245 photos of the event which can be viewed at http://dananders.smugmug.com/True to my word I used my prize money from the Track Pentathlon to pay for my ticket to the US Open in New York in two weeks time.
Hard to believe I haven't been to Flushing Meadows since 1993 17 years ago....eek,that's so long ago I didn't even have Hobbes then!!!!
Having been to Wimbledon at least 4 times when I lived in London I made 2 trips to the US Open in 92 and 93 and talked about going back last year....but talking was as far as it went so this year I was determined to get up there and Sundays extra $100 took care of that.
I chose the first Friday of the tournament as my day to go for two reasons,there'll be a bunch of 2nd and 3rd round matches on the outside courts so I'll get more bang for my buck.....plus it's Labor Day weekend and by taking Friday off I get a four day weekend sandwiched in between two four day work weeks.....not just an awesome possum,but a clever possum too!
A mild return of the heat today as I clocked 64 mins for my 10 miler,I've always said the time of these runs is unimportant and w/ an all important repeat coming up on Saturday it might be prudent to back off a little today and again tomorrow so I can have a crack at 4/4 @ sub 5 for my mile repeats on Saturday.
