Swimming 35:00 [2] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
Swimming at Fitzroy. Thought I might be getting wet on the way in and out of the pool as well as in it but the promised rain failed to materialise (although I did cop the full force of the squall on the bike just before arriving at work). Never really got going this morning, which I probably can't attribute to getting up at 2 for a bit to watch Kathryn's run in the sprint.
Now at the end of the first full week back at work and starting to feel as if I'm making a bit of headway (although documenting all the records that are likely to be broken in the subtropics this weekend and Monday will be a major diversion next week).
This also means I'm exposed to the letters colmuns of the Weekly Times and its like again, but I now have evidence against one of their pet hates, allegedly higher country fuel prices. It was true once but, except in the really remote areas, it isn't any more. The most expensive fuel I saw on my way down the east coast was in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and the current Melbourne price is the highest I've seen anywhere since Normanton. (On that theme, one of life's little mysteries is why some particular places are anything from 10 to 20 cents cheaper than their neighbours - I already knew about Bairnsdale, but Kempsey and, more surprisingly, Mount Isa are also on this list).
