A run of two halves, although not the way it usually happens for me - normally this takes the form of a slow first half and a good second half, but today it was the reverse, accentuated by the fact that the run was done in two loops. The first loop was done with Jenny (who stayed with me last night) and was pretty good, heading out through Viewbank while it was still dark and then hitting the singletracks of Banyule Flats (still pretty muddy) at first light. I then went on on my own on a western loop and promptly felt flat and uninspired; thought the long descent to Darebin Creek might get me going again but it didn't. Never as much of a struggle as the last 30 minutes last week, though.

Got home and Jenny was still waiting outside the front door; the spare key I'd given her didn't work. Oops....

Again cramped on the bike coming home, which is a bit of a worry (at least from the viewpoint of 18+ kilometres on Sunday).
