Roger takes on the Grind !

Being on the three day trip Roger had the explicit advantage over me when taking on the grind in that he had given himself plenty of sleep and more inteligently had taken on board a substantial breaky of five eggs, six pancakes, seven sausages, eight slices of toast and nine rashers of bacon !

This is typically known as the light option breakfast in a Canadian Denny's and would form a usual Cooper elevenses snack !

You see I on the other hand you will recall had gone straight from the pub armed with a banana, having quaffed two pints of lager ! As such Roger your time of 65 mins I am sorry is very poor given the military approach you took, as opposed to my cavalier 80 mins.


You must do better next time ! If you didn't tip your hat sir at every passer by on the trail you may have gone a bit quicker.

Whilst you look at the pictures from Rogers float plane trip to Victoria over on the island (for which I will not offer any notes as I have not done it yet) two bits of information from previous posts to update !

It turns out that the reason Mr Myagi was short hand chopping me to the gut last weekend in a random sushi bar was because I had the hiccups and Leigh suggested a whack to the belly would cure it in one. Mr Myagi by all accounts stepped forward with pleasure ! Mmmmmm ! Thanks for that ! I'm still hoping I find the joint some day so I can get my own back !

Secondly I mentioned that I was to run a second formal 10K race around Stanley Park sea wall on the Saturday after Rogers departure. Don't fall off your stools now folks but the Stig ran 55 mins 12 seconds ! Not bad even if I do say so myself for a week on the beers and burgers ! An afternoons cricket on the hottest day of the year so far however at 36C immediateley after, nearly killed me off !
