Rest day today. Not much to report except that hammies are still sore. And that I caught up with an ex-umpiring mate from my days at the VFL. Turns out the VFL are promoting guys to the AFL who are struggling to meet the minimum fitness requirement of 4 km in 18 minutes. yikes!
So the boss of the AFL put a rocket up the boss of the VFL who in turn placed that rocket fairly and squarely up the goalies boss. The result? The VFL time trial is now 4 km instead of 3 km and only guys who have a proven fitness record are umpiring senior football. About time!!
While I had a good run at the VFL, it is my belief that had that policy been in place while I was there, I could possibly have racked up close to 50 VFL senior matches rather than the 30 odd that I did over four seasons. Not to worry, I enjoyed my time there but gee I enjoy my running more
