MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Enjoy your day. I know there are folks working, travelling, meeting people for the first time, catching up with the family, friends and enjoying our lovely hot summer days.

SPOTIFY LIST: I have some favourites on there.

1. Wengie (Ugly Christmas Sweater) = Aussie artist
2. Meghan Trainor (Gifts for me)
3. Wham (Last Christmas)
4. Kelly Clarkson (Underneath the tree)
5. Band Aid (Do they know it's Christmas)

Of course Halleulujah, Britney, Our Kylie and Charlie Puth made the cut. Just put it on random and let it go. About 5hrs worth of entertainment. That might change.... My sister in-law has challenged me to a play off of our music. I'm always up for change which brings improvement.

Enjoy your day, whatever you're up to.

Happy Birthday Jesus, the legend Jessa Salceda and my great friend Linda Hoo for yesterday.

Stay awesome y Feliz Navidad

RUNNER UP IN THE LADIES TRIPLES KNOCKOUT (DISTRICT COMPETITION)
Downs District Bowls Association

We were really productive in the first 2 games and then the final just didn't go our way. Our competitors were experienced and I definitely learned a lot! I am thankful for this experience.

To get to the finals at District level is a big deal. The District crew are well organised and put on great events.

HOST: Pittsworth Bowls Club
The groundsmen did a solid job prepararing the greens. They ran true and and it was a pleasure to play on. I'm pretty sure they do meals on Friday amd Saturday evenings. Ring them to confirm this. Please do support them!!! Lunch today was spot on!

MY BOWLS: AeroBowls
MY SHOES: Altra Running from TriRunning
MY CLUBS: Rink 46 Toowoomba Bowls Club Inc
MY COACH: Decisive Deliveries

MY TEAM:
Trudy (Drayton) = skip
Me = 2nd
Narelle (Millmerran) = lead

This time around we didn't get our names engraved on the trophy; or the winner's badge for our hats. Next year!

I have made excellent friendships with bowls. I really enjoyed playing next to them, keeping and eye out, celebrating and commiserating. Above all, today was fun.

Keep training for something awesome.

I WON, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT??

I thought I won the 1/4 finals last week. Next week is the semi-finals. So, I don't know what today was??

Me: 25
Lorraine: 15

Lorraine is such a solid competitor and it was really good to finally play her. We started with 20 km/hr crosswinds and a blinding sunset. Our game went for about 2.5hrs and when the sun dropped, so did the wind.

It's a fast green and with the strong winds the aim is to adjust as quickly as possible.

Again, the groundsmen Mark and Gary always have the greens comp-ready!

[1/4 FINALS = WIN] LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES

25 = Me
18 = Belinda

[PART 1] Game was abandoned due to wet weather and a lighting show. I was up at the call of game with 22 vs 18.

[PART 2] Ended with a win of the 1/4 final. Belinda played well and there were plenty of changes in the head. This means if Belinda had the shot, I came and got it. Vice versa.

This competition has a pathway to the Champion of Club Champions in July 2026.

The semi final is against Lorraine next week. She is a solid player and I'm looking forward to our game.

Thanks to Mark and Gary (groundsmen from Drayton) who keep the grounds in top shape for competition!

[LADIES A GRADE SINGLES FINAL] THIS IS WHAT LOSING (RUNNER UP) LOOKS LIKE

21 Gayle
17 Me

I know I played a strategic game. When you get to this level, it's usually (says me) 2 ends that costs the game. I made 4 strategic moves (game changes) and I am really happy I followed through with them.

"Costing the game" means, did they get their line, did they gain confidence, did they start relaxing into the game, did I lose concentration, did I not reset for that 1 bowl, did I start to lift, did I find that weighted shot? All of those sorts of things.

I know which 2 ends they were.... I'll keep that to myself for now. Just for the record, its not always the "big ends".

The conditions were rain, wet, muggy, windy, gusty and calm. The grounds ran true and its with great gratitude to our amazing green keepers Mark and Gary, who do a top job!

I have been making technical changes and I'm really happy with the progression.

MY CLUBS: Rink 46 + Toowoomba Bowls Club Inc
MY BOWLS: AeroBowls
MY SHOES: Altra Running (this is a big deal, I will happily write a medical exemption for the Australian Open competition for these)

Gayle was beside herself and happy with her win! She said it took her 5 years to get here. Well done to her! This is what sticking with something looks like!

Keep training for something awesome!

MASTERS EVENT THIS SUNDAY AT O'QUINN OVAL (corner of O'Quinn and Fifth Ave, Toowoomba)
Toowoomba Masters Athletics

This is for the legends who are 30+ years old (male and females). Normally the events are run in Brisbane. First time it's nice and close.

I'll be neck deep in a 2 day lawn bowls event. Tryna win some $$. With kind scheduling, I'll be at the next one.

If you're feeling like this isn't for you, it is. I have plenty of patients asking about how to get involved and how to train for these events.

HOT TIP: You can 100% give the shot put a crack and stand start for the 60m. This is just bare minimum. It will give you the confidence that you can do this. Literally, warm up and do your best.

You might get to race against our Dr Sheila Cook from Toowoomba Endocrine & Diabetes. With The Reich Method she ranks 3rd in the world for 60m. This is a big deal. World ranking... She came to my Run Club 8 months after a knee reconstruction. One year later, that world ranking was hers!

Think Feet Podiatry's patients have the EXACT SAME rehabilitation that we gave her for her success.

Ask me anything. I've been around Masters Athletics for ages and I am a big advocate of individual training for personal goals and success.

THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN: You go and get a qualified (electronic) time or distance and I can work with you on improving that and staying injury free. Try as many events as you can.

Tell me all about it!
