Set out along Longbeach hoping to find way out at either end to make a long run. Didn't succeed! Cliffs at one end and the tide in at the other meant there was nowhere to go that kept it beachy or bushy and I didnt want to go on the roads. As a result ended up doing two laps of a fortunately fairly long beach with several diversions looking for ways up into the hills that didnt invovle roads. Despite not getting anywhere I quite enjoyed it as dont get to the coast much. Legs were feeling the sand by the end, especially as inital high tide had kept me up in some soft sand.

Hot run while down the coast at Longbeach, just north of Batemens. Ran along beach, round point to next beach who's name escapes me. Did a lap of that beach, stopped at their shop for water and bought paper then back round point to Longbeach. Wind into face on the way back was hot, sandy and unpleasant. Listened to cricket most of way.

Slightly longer half lap of aranda than usual. SLuggish and lower back felt pretty stiff. Wanted to get out before big day taking girls to the play school concert. What a gig! Jai & Andrea really rocked with Penny on the piano.

Results vs Performance. Last night, as can be seen by my description, I didnt run that well but just had a look at results and beat all my nemesis. RobW flogged me reflecting the true worth of my run but everyone else cant have had a good day.

hot, hot, hot on way home.

SS at Bluetts. Was fun - NOT!. 34 degrees, so many grass seeds that I threw my socks out at the end, more flys than you could poke a stick at and generally crap. My muse Miss Jones was not there either so motivation was low. Started a minute after davtheflav and caught him at 4 then fidgeted round on each leg with him. The flav was making a better fist of it than I until a control in a clearing on a vague hillside which I found well and lost him on. Cant say I enjoyed it, my intensity and concentration were poor and consequently so was my orienteering. No change to bet status.

Morning half lap of aranda. DIdnt muck round as had slept in* so time was in demand.

* slept in means 7.15am

Last week I rode home in stinking heat, today was rain the whole way home. Was light but certainly path was wet. Flat bar handled it with ease.
