Local. I’m not good enough to justify spending money on travel for meets yet. A year or so and that should start to change.
Lol if your not good enough, goodness knows what that makes plebs like me 
Good enough is relative. I don’t apply my standards to everyone else. I want to be at a certain level. Until I’m there I’m not good enough.
I’m just pulling your chain mate. Everything in life is relative and in the end where we are is never where we want to be. One thing I would say though is not to limit yourself to only do something when you are good enough. I doubt you really do that and I get what you meant about the comp. Just saying don’t wait to be good enough.

Honestly, I can’t justify spending the money and taking the time away from family to compete in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth when I can do it here. When I qualify for nationals, different story.

That makes 100% sense to me and I would do the same.

Went out partying with the wife last night. Too much beer and too much dancing. Woke up this morning and my neck is super stiff. Can barely turn my head to the left. Booked in to see the osteo on Monday. Really hoping it sorts itself out before we go on holiday on Tuesday!! Don’t know if I spelt in a funny position or all the dancing has upset it. But if is sore and I am grumpy

Lol it was an 1980’s dress up party. There was an 80’s cover band, lots of beers and my dancing was probably exactly like that at some point during the night. Had a ball though

Thanks mate, yes it was a very good night. With three kids under 9 there are not many times that the wife and I go out and party these days. I have to say that I rarely drink at all so to go out for a big night is always fun but I always pay for it the next day. It was worth it though very fun times.

Hmm… I drink often but I rarely go out and drink so much that I have a hangover
Perhaps you’d be better off increasing the frequency of your drinking but decreasing the volume?

Yep, we don’t muck around!
How’s the neck mate? I twisted mine badly a few years back, couldn’t move it, a few 10 buck neck massage sessions at the Chinese massage place at the shops did absolute wonders for it.
Got on the foam roller yesterday and managed to crack my back and neck a few times which freed it up a bit. Deff a bit better today, it’s still a little sore but no longer locked up. I see the osteo tomorrow so should be all good.

Neck still pretty sore, has gotten worse as the day went by. It feels like doms so guessing I was rocking my head too much on Friday night lol !!! Hoping a good sleep tonight will help and then a good session at the osteo tomorrow and I’ll be sweet and ready for training tomorrow night.

Went to the osteo today and boy did it feel good. Back and neck were all jacked up. He was pretty surprised how tight everything was especially my neck. Good massage and then some back and neck adjustment. Back popped back into place real easy but neck took a little more work. Felt good after and should feel even better after a few days. Off to get some winter sun tomorrow and can’t bloody wait.
