Road Runners on a wet, slippery and hilly Pomingalarna course! Nice and cool for running but track was very slippery in places - should have worn the Inov8s!

As it is the last run for the month, this was handicap day and, as I hadn't run previously this month, I went our quite early and ran the whole course by myself, except the last km where I caught some of the short course runners. Happy overall with the run given the amount of climb and that there was no one around me to help me judge my pace. Some hamstring twinges, especially on the climb, so was taking it a bit careful.

Afternoon cycle. Went out around the north and east sides of the Lake into Rawlings Park then up to Mitchell Rd. A bit of a loop in Rawlings and then home via the Boat Club. Good fun ride except for the millions of tiny flying insects that I tried not to inhale. Glad I had glasses on. Almost dark by the time I got home. Probably should get some lights - might find some next month in China!

Afternoon run around Lake Albert. Same loop as last Friday and pleased with a much faster effort. Brilliant afternoon, lots of people out: walking, running, cycling, water skiing (even though it was almost dusk) or just sitting around enjoying it all. The Lake really is a great asset when it has water in it!. Let's hope it stays that way.

First Interclub against AWOC at Connorton. Nice course set by Deb (and I'm not just saying that!). Long first leg and a little vague in the circle. 2, 3 and 4 good - managed to avoid most of the hundreds of Golden Orb spider webs, 2 was a ripper with webs on all 4 sides and I was first there! Missed 5 to the west and slightly high but only lost 30 seconds. Good for the remainder but didn't enjoy the climb from 6 to 7!

Another brilliant autumn morning and conquered the grass seeds today by wearing shorts and sock guards, and putting strapping tape over the laces on my shoes!

Helped Deb collect controls after todays event.
