Pool running 45:00 [3] 0.7 km (1:04:17 / km)
A get-the-stiffness-out session on a morning when there was a reasonable amount of stiffness to get out. Seems to have done the job OK. First time I've been at Fitzroy for a while - there's a bit of building work out the front associated with the rebuilding of a main drain down the middle of Alexandra Parade. (It's also the first time for a while I've done a 7pm Friday bike commute through the CBD - the highlight being almost getting doored by someone who emerged from their car clutching a half-drunk stubbie).
It hasn't got much news on the mainland, but a big bushfire has been burning for the last 10 days out the back of St. Helens. From the fire maps I've seen, it looks like it's burnt most or all of Transit Flat (World Cup/Oceania long 2015) - something the local orienteers don't seem too distressed about - but is so far staying west of the other St. Helens maps, and will probably continue to do so unless there is a period of strong W/SW winds (something not currently forecast).
(For non-Australian readers, most eucalypt species are adapted to fire and not killed by it. Often post-fire regrowth of small trees and shrubs will make forests less runnable, sometimes dramatically so, but that depends on the forest type and how intense the fire was).
