National Lottery Olympic Park Run 31/3/2012

...and the start of the race number season starts again. Curiously it's not rowing

2012 F1 Malaysian Grand Prix

Pretty crazy race all in all, so to come out with a podium's not so bad I guess.

Perez should replace Massa NOW.

2012 F1 Australian Grand Prix

Was going to do a James Allen style strategy report, but really can't be bothered, so it's just a bullet points summary for me:

• Great start for McLaren, looks like the race for the titles is on this year
• Red Bulls are probably still the fastest/joint-fastest cars on the grid, qualy was probably just a blip
• Ferrari aren't too bad in the race, but maybe only Alonso can make the car work at the moment
• Mercedes and Ferrari need to improve the cars to reduce rear tyre wear
• Sauber showed that maybe starting with the harder compound tyre at the start of the race is a better strategy, especially for Lewis and the Mercedes guys in the next race

F1 2012

Waited so long... it's good to be back


Can't read too much into practice times, but it's good to see Schumi having a good start

Back again

No idea how often I'll be at updating this again, but here goes...

Was at Wimbleball Lake last weekend for a rowing camp, which coincided with some pretty damn good weather:


It's great to be in a place with nothing but nature, no mobile phones, no internet, to clear the stress and fatigue of everyday life and hit 'Reset' every now and then. The rowing was pretty good too, although could have done with a bit more fitness!



Right, back to real world, need to find something else to keep me amused. Hmm, not hard really - F1 starts 16th March (Boo to SKY), MA graduation 24th, National Lottery Run 31st, but the one I'm really looking forward to is this:

MITx: MIT's new online learning initiative

That's all folks, for now
