Ups and Downs - Life, really

The weekend was a nice, relaxing one. Cricket season is over, and other commitments also. Haven't had one of those in yonks! So what did I do? Sleep in and watch some Commonwealth Games. Now alot of people would diss the Comm Games, but they're not too bad in the end. It can get a little one sided, but there are some good competetive races from time to time. (I'm sure those outside Australia, and some inside, are sick and tired of hearing Advance Australia Fair).

Swimming and Cycling, as always was a real treat. The golden girls ripping up their cometitors in the pool and going after eachother was fantastic to watch. Constantly chasing that World Record White Line is something that never ceases to amaze. Probably isn't the most balanced of fields, but it is quite the achievement to get gold, silver, and bronze in an event and not drop a single gold (for the women). Pure ownage. I'm a big fan of cycling at the Velidrome as well - the Keirin is quite intense and watching the guys and girls power home is nailbiting - as finishes go down to the portions of wheels. Congrats to both Ryan Bailey and Anna Meares.

Those aren't the only two things I saw - those were the highlights of Super Saturday. I managed to watch some of the Light Weightlifting. Weighlifting? You have to be kidding, right? Well.. it wasn't too bad. Alexander Turner did quite well to take it out... and there were some laughs with the Cameroon dude - Etoundi. Gym, both male and female is not bad to watch either.

Anyways, enough about the Comm Games. Onto Monday. Wow. Had a shocker at work. Tell you what - not much was going at all. It was one of those days. The shared hard drive was full and all of the work that I was doing wasn't actually saving (not that DBArtisan was telling me that it wasn't saving - stupid thing).

At least the evening was better. Had Dragonboat training and this training set felt much better. I'm all pumped up for the race - that's what. Haha. Nothing like stabbing the water after a dreadful day at work. At least the day wasn't all bad. Also had a good chat to a Dragonboat teammate on the way to the station (first leg of the journey home). Maybe I was just happy to get out of the office... lol.

Meh.
