Wasn't all that confident before the start of this, but I can usually tell within the first few minutes whether today is a reasonable day, and knew within the first few minutes that today was a reasonable day. Headed up initially through Bellfield, venturing as far as the Bell Street bridge (the path to the footbridge further south is still closed for works; Bell Street itself is not the dividing line this far east that it is on the west side of the creek), then south again. Quad started feeling a bit troublesome at this point and I thought I might have to work to get to an hour, but a traffic stop at 50 minutes settled it down and I did an extra loop west with a view to getting to 75. That mission was accomplished (although tiring somewhat in the last 10 minutes), which further lifts (slightly) the longest-since-September-2018 benchmark.

Quads definitely told me afterwards that they had been doing some work, and generally pretty tired in the afternoon, but it's nice to be tired because you've been doing some work (even if it's only half of what would have been routine on a non-orienteering Sunday 15 years ago).
