John Clarke RIP

John Clarke was some guy I met on Royal Park golf course in Melbourne. He toted a Channel 9 golf bag and played with us for three holes. I knew he was the guy in the movie 'Death in Brunswick', we were playing golf in the next suburb to Brunswick. We were sure he was famous, we weren't famous. He whacked the ball a long way, very much to the right, a cricketer's slice. He went looking for his ball on a different fairway and never returned. That's the last we saw of him.

I miss him.

I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
