Coota Beach Weekend

Im back from Cootamundra after spending the weekend there for a beach volleyball competition/ carnival. Its a yearly thing thats been happening since 2001 and every year more people come along from syd canberra and ofcourse the local area. This year 46 teams entered and i think most of them were there for fun rather than competition.

Cootamundra is a small country town about 400km south west of sydney with a population of about 7000. The town center is pretty much one long strip of road with the neccessities. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and though results were a mixed bag, im sure everyone had heaps of fun; especially the owner of that moisturiser which, still to this day, i dont think has been claimed!! Im sure some people would have woken up to more smoother skin than they had expected- not a totally bad thing though, right?!!

Some of the results were:
- 'TNT' made A reserve but got knocked out first round of the eliminations by 2points, ouch
- 'Dynamite' Made C grade but got knocked out also first round
- Our mixed triathlon (in which 3 paticipants took part in each leg) won that division and came 2nd overall, well done!
- 'Ezz' Erin came 4th in the womens, she did it all herself! Nice work!
- Margs came 6th, ezz 3rd overall in the womens beach sprints
- I came 3rd, stu came 4th in the mens beach sprints

Awesome weekend look forward to next time!!

So its mid week and im contemplating about many things. First of all, a testimony in which i wanted to say so much more but at the same time contempt with what was said.

I was hyped up and roaring for a good game of oztag last night, but obviously the storm was a little too extreme to play in. What a dissapointment!

And cricket, last saturday, where i was sent in to bat in the middle order but got out within 4balls of arriving at the crease due to a ball that moved in mid-air then somehow bounced and zipped into my stumps! Crazy! Contemplating what could have been and how i keep thinking to myself i always get the good balls. I want a bowling spot in the team but there are no opportunities; so seeing im not making any serious runs im definately seeing myself as a specialist fieldsman and nothing else.
On the field they like running me ragged but its my duty to save something like 50runs a game! In this particular game i droped a catch in the first over and as abuse flys this way and that way i started thinking about everything. My testimony i was about to give the next day; my life as a christian; how in normal circumstances i wouldnt take any of this crap; what i really wanted; and definately about how i managed to drop the catch. I became slightly emotional and i wanted to go home. Never had i felt such a rush of emotions, but for it to happen on the cricket field: a place where i used to be able to escape everything and be in my comfort zone; it was ironic.

Im contemplating calling the salon to get my hair cut but its also a battle to see how long i can get it to grow. It does take some maintenance. So does short hair though!

So finaly, this is not a contemplation but rather a thankgoodness sorta thing! Got an appointment with the dentist this arvo so they can tell me ive got bad teeth and that i dont take care of them etc

Till Next Time
Take Care All
God Bless
