Luddington Invitational

Another year for the Luddington Invitational has come and gone.  This year we rented a cottage (house) and all stayed together in Pugwash as we played at Northumberland Links.  We had tee times for 3pm and it was FREEZING!  We didn't take any pictures of the actual tournament as we were too cold.  Twin 1 took a blanket from the cottage and was glad she did as her and Twin 2 had to cuddle in it at times.  The tournament was for 9 holes but the rest played the next 9 as we paid for 18 but the Twins were so cold we just wanted to get back to the cottage and get in our jammies.

It was actually so cold that when it started raining and the wind died down that it was more enjoyable.

The boys finished up at dark and we had a big spaghetti supper and did the trophy presentation after everyone got warm.

RC and MK went out to a thrift store and they found a "green jacket" for the winner as they do at the Masters. 

CE won the tournament by 1 stoke (even though he had a 17 handicap) and beat last years winner so last years winner had to hand over the trophy and green jacket.

 

The last place trophy is always a competition between the Twins.  Twin 2 won it this year.  We did not get this picture yet as we were too cold to go out to the vehicle and get it during the ceremony.

 

The Friday night before consisted of writing the "rules" down so everyone would know what they were and were agreed upon.  We also picked out teams and we usually take team photos but not this year. 

All in all it was a great weekend where we got to spend some time with family.

 

Here are also a few pictures of the beach and of course the pups.

 

 

 

And look how flat the rocks are here!

Friday, September 16, 2016 - REST

*********************************************************************************
Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Rest

Twin 1 went for walk at Kearny Lake Trails while Twin 2 was in PEI.  It is bow season now so we have to wear our hunters orange as there is hunting allowed in the deeper woods where we walk.
Here are some pictures.

Sunday, September 18, 2016 - Bike (Stationary). 

E =10 min
H = 1 min, E = 4 min x 6
E = 5 min

Total =  45 min = 10 km

*********************************************************************************

Monday, September 19 2016 - This run we did on our own as Twin 2 was working in DM and no one knew what was going on so it was decided we would do it alone.  Twin 1 took to the street and got caught in the rain on the way home and Twin 2 did the tread mill. The km's and times differentiated as we went different speeds that that is why there is no total.  This was a confusing run as it was both miles and times so some math was needed.  We both got it done!

 W - 10 min
R -  1 mile (which equals about 1.6k)
W - 5 min
R - 6 min , W - 1 min x3
W - 10 min

*********************************************************************************
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 - Bike (Stationary) - WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WORKOUT BUT EACH TOOK A "REST" DAY.  We will make this one up on our scheduled rest day.  Also Twin 1 went for a 5.6k walk with sister Wi and the pups. 

Tip Tuesday

Don't make a bad day a bad week, a bad week a bad month, a bad month a bad year.

Tip Tuesday

If you want to become a runner then get onto a trail, into the woods, or on a sidewalk or street and run.  Go 50 yards if that's all you can handle.  Tomorrow, you can go farther.
