First time back at park run for a few years and enjoyed it - Burley Griffen park run at Weston Park - took it slowly for a start and ran with Katie for the first 4 kms before she got a stitch - cruised the last bit trying to motive a 12 year old running with his dad - pointed out to him he had a 53 year advantage over me - seemed to have worked as he out sprinted me near the finish. Liz took the pooch which was a challenge as the dog wanted to cut all corners and go for the occasional dip in the lake - we often walk Cindy here so she knows the area.

Peleton of 2 on MTB ride to arboretum via the zoo single track and Wide Brown Land. Rode more of the single track under the pines which was nice and shady - climb from cork oaks up to Wide Brown Land was tough as usual. Post coffee went back by the fastest route. Time etc a guess as garmin switched off for some reason. 38C expected high today so good to get in the ride when it was only about 25C.

Better run today than previous on Deeks track - conditions nice before the day heats up - still below record pace tho.

Peloton of 4 today for the LGB hit out. Held of the ACT veterans M70 champ in the sprint today - had a nice lead out by Peter and felt strong on the hill - but tired later in the ride - must have been the after effects of having a rest day. Ride home average heart rate was 123 so did not push hard the whole ride given the last part was fast. Coolish wind from the south east but not as strong as we have had in recent days.

After a win last night time to kick up the heels and enjoy the prize money.

C • Winners are grinners :-) 1

First appearance at Street O for donkey years. Run was around Aranda suburb - I chose to do course C which was 12 out of 20 controls. Headed off from the mass start with Martin Dent in front of me - I did not pass him - after 100 metres he was ahead by 100 metres but interestingly we were both winners - he won course A in 32 minutes and 8 kms while I was first in course C. Nice running conditions - climb a guess but there was a bit.

Walk with the pooch and Liz from Wide Brown Land to cork oaks and back. Spritely pace when you do not carry a pack.
