Down at Blairgowrie for a couple of days - a nice part of the world to run. The end of the Peninsula is full of small sand dunes, most of them built on now, but it means endless short, sharp climbs, especially in those areas where the street pattern ignores the topography. This time round I headed for the back part of Rye, where such hills are not in short supply and unusually failed to get lost trying to come back through the back streets as I usually do in that area. The run itself was mediocre as I adjusted to the many small hills.

Decided to put an otherwise mundane afternoon session to good use by running the Bushrangers Bay track near Cape Schanck, one I've never previously been on, on the way home from seeing some friends at Shoreham. A bit apprehensive after a big lunch but settled down well, and a very nice second half on the climb back to the main road even if the views were a bit disappointing (had to do some bushbashing for the best coastal scenery).
