Swift Run on April Fool’s

Today was the last cross country event for the season, being the Swift athletics association Macritchie X-Country.

Naui Scuba Diving Course

Today's the first day of my NAUI Scuba Diving Course.

Mingled around & made quite a few...

IVP 10000m event

Completed the 10000m event today in 47mins, way off my target of 40mins, maybe because its a rather mental event having to run 25 rounds round the standard 400m track.
