Vietnam Swans AFL Club

Willy introduced me to some of his mates from the footy club a few weeks back and we have since caught up a few times. Nice bunch of people and excellent to meet people other than teachers - no offence intended. The Singapore Wombats came to Hanoi and played a match the day Trev left for India, which was unfortunate as I met some great people from HCMC. But the good news is the Swans will be heading to Vientiane to play the Laos Elephants on the 19th July and we all will be heading over to support. Seeing Trev hasn't been to Laos before we are going to combine it with a trip to Luang Prabang and head back to Khoun's Avocado Farm where me and the kids stayed at TET.

Duathlon Training

Good news, a month into the training and I am still enjoying it and most importantly getting better at it. Am now running 7km about 4 times a week and my time has improved out of sight. I was thinking that speed was not in my favour so I concentrated on running for a longer time, and this has worked extremely well. I am now running for 50 minutes and can do the 5km in about 36 minutes (big improvement on the 42 mins a month ago).

Donna my neighbour is also going to do the duathlon and we are looking into splurging on the weekend down in Hoi An in a fancy smancy hotel. Not sure if Trev will be around or not for the big day but hopefully he will be.
