As the name says, all the 'The Sleep Train' does is sleep and train, but not necessarily in any predetermined order, its just that 'The Train Sleep' didnt sound as good. Unknown to many is the fact that The Sleep Train's middle name is Eat, so full name is thus Sleep Eat Train, or Sleep E Train, which fits given The Sleep Train did once fall sleep on a train at Central Station only to wake hours later in Lithgow, which is a lovely place at 3am.

This weekend is the matt fisher double tri.

December 10
Well I did miss a week of reports due to a sprained ankle (the 15th sprain in 15 years on the right ankle) that ocurred while running in the Glenbrook NP in the middle of a late Friday afternoon storm.
Sat 6th of December saw the Byrnes Memorial fun run held where my two year reign was mercilessly ended by Daniel Baldacchino..... who looks fitter than a greyhound at the momment.
Sunday was a 90 min 'bush bash' with 35 referees in Glenbrook NP, starting at the Gorge Track then up the ridge to Tunnel View L.O with "the scam" as the tail-end-charlie (a Recce of this run was performed on the Friday), with all who attended agreeing it was a great Bush Bash for the novice refs.
Sunday arvo saw a back up 90min run out the Linden Ridge Fire Trail from the back of Woodford Dam.
Monday, was a day off work and a 9hr bush walk up and down canyons and creeks in the Wollemi NP with Jimmy the Welsh and the 'Running Enigma'- Dominic Boiden. A memorable that ended with a great storm that saw 11 mils of water fall in 30mins as we emerged from the final canyon and glowing sunset....
