Prophecy 2007

6th October, 2007

"The Dome", Sydney Showgrounds, Homebush

Well this rave kinda sucked.

I had been eagerly waiting this party for ages. Powerhouse Productions has been steadily declining in quality over the years. After waiting for nearly an hour outside to get in, the sound quality was terrible, half the speakers were turned off (I heard rumuors its was because of reverb problems). And the music itself wasnt fantastic.

The security was overkill ("take off your cap - no caps allowed inside"... wtf its a rave!), and pretty much every aspect of it was not up to scratch. Nuff said.

2-Oct-2007 - Half marathon complete

The weather has been getting warmer and warmer, and the long weekend just past was the last long weekend for a while. So I decided that now was the best time to finally do my 21km jog!

It was one of my new years resolutions. I never thought i'd ever jog that far in my life, but I finally did it.

The course

I had already worked out the course and ridden it on my bike before, so I knew what I was in for. Saturday was the day and it was fairly warm weather.

It took me about 2 hours and 40 mins to jog it... I was taking it easy, and stopped only a couple of times briefly on the way to buy drinks. Mental note: Four powerades in 3 hours is not very nice on your stomach!!

By the end of it I was exhausted and all my muscles were cramped up. It was the first time i've experienced that level of cramping... just bending my leg back gave me a huge instant cramp. So after a lot of stretching at the end I went home, showered, and lay down :-)

So thats 2 out of 7 new years resolutions complete. 5 more to go!
