Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas Everyone :-)

Only half a marathon man..

So, I made it. 21.3 Km and I only walked when I was taking on water. I did the Amsterdam half marathon in 2 hours, 13 minutes exactly, I didn’t come last!
It sure took it out of me, the last five Km were very, very hard, my legs and knees were giving me a lot of problems and I lost quite a bit of time in the final stage, but I didn’t walk!
My friend Kevin did the whole marathon in 3h53m, which was a personal best for him, and his wife Lucy also broke her best in the half marathon with 2h22m. We had a grand weekend :-)
You can see my results for yourself on the Uitslagen site, simply enter my startnumber, 15291 and you’ll get the result.

I did it Myyyyyyyyyy Waaay!

Tired little legs but recovering now, I ran the Damloop.
The 16.1 kilometers took me 1 hour 44 minutes and 28 seconds, and was great fun. I know I can run faster too.

Here is a picture of me looking stupid at the 15k mark:
[note to self.. just run when you see the camera next time!]

I’ve brought a Boat!

Hurrah for Zodiac and Mercury.. She’s rubber, and only 2.8m long, but with a 5 Hp motor she moves nicely. Now to go into Amsterdam..

Cool.

I´m the flash of orange :-)

3km DragonBoat run..

Aargh! My arms ache, fortunately some lovely has soothed the pain.

Dragon Boats are fun!

.. but also hard work. We came Fifth in Gorinchem.

I’m Back!

Had a marvellous time Skiing, now I need to rest my feet since they HURT!

Ski time

Going skiing next week.. to Val Thorens! Looking good.

Happy Christmas!

To all the people who read this Blog (If any ;-)

Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad!

Thanks for a nice weekend.. Add Thanks to Ryanair for the best flights I’ve had for some time, and the cheapest too..

Anybody wondering how my Holiday went..

Kalymnos is a fantastic place, I just wish the company had been better. I’ll sort out my holiday pictures when I get some time to generate the albums on my PC.
