Pretty slow but otherwise routine, forgetting to a greater extent than usual that I have two arms and two legs and that moving through the water is normally more efficient if one uses all of them. Starting to become a bit rainy by the end (really heavy drizzle, but enough to make the ride in a bit uncomfortable).

Was originally planning to go out around the Tan at lunchtime but something came up with work, so went out around the Tan in the evening instead - one of those delightful cool, sunny evenings that Melbourne sometimes turns on once a system's gone through. Really grinding the first 10 minutes, then got into a bit more of a stride - never particularly comfortable, but starting to become a decent recovery session by the end. Got to hear the Carols by Candlelight rehearsal intermittently through the run.

Went home via Northland to do the last of the Christmas shopping - nowhere near as crazy as expected (it's amazing how easy it is to find a parking spot at a shopping mall if you go straight for the rooftop and don't spend 20 minutes waiting to pounce on a spot 50 metres closer to the entrance).
