I’ve been inspired by the release of The Sufferfest’s Angels training video! Here’s my periodised training plan chart for 2010/2011.

Last Thursday, I played in the pre-World Cup trial match for the Wallaroos and really enjoyed the experience.

I played in the shadows et al team (The Wenches). The Wenches pack featured two tourists, five shadows (all former Wallaroos bar one) and me (#6). The backline borrowed two tourists, and had one shadow, two ACT players (fellow Viqueen, Nikki, and Owl Tegan) and one local player (congratulations to Narelle, my Vikings teammate – very young but very talented!) Royal Kasey Davis started from the bench for us.

The video above shows the tries from our convincing grand final victory over Unis. It should be noted that the try at 1:10 (or thereabouts) was called back because of an infringement (umm, mine) about 60 seconds earlier. A late tackle I was committed to. Alas and alack.

Our manager asked me to write the match report for the Vikings website. It hasn’t been posted there yet, so I’ll stick it here for the time being.

The Vikings Women (the ViQueens) ran to a 31 – nil victory over the Uni-Norths Owls this afternoon. I can’t tell you how sweet it is, how very deliciously sweet.

Will post more tomorrow, am feeling quite unwell still and my nose hurts after copping a fairly decent whack in the first tackle (one I was proud of, nonetheless) of the match.

MrTimms pointed out the Below The Line website, a very handy tool for planning your senate vote in the 2010 election.

I gave it a go, and while I was at it, I looked through as many of the party websites as I could find. If you are interested in doing the same, here’s the list I scraped together, may save you a few seconds. The list is pretty much in the order of the NSW Senate Ballot (apologies if you’re from another state). The Building Australia party site was inaccessible.
