Woke up at 4 for a 6am flight via Melbourne to Hobart. Landed and it was raining - there's no mountain to be seen anywhere up there! Spent something like 6 hours walking and shopping around Salamanca Place and markets (I may have over-compensated a little for the fact that I didn't have room in my pack to bring many gifts back from Europe) and after picking up my running number (should I be worried that the commemorative freebie with it is a thermal beanie?) headed back to my apartment in Battery Point, avoided writing my talks for a couple of hours, then went for a run along the Hobart Rivulet to Cascade Brewery. Wasn't sure how my knees would feel about a sustained downhill on the way back so I kept diverting up side streets and cross roads, partly trying to work out what the route of the P2P will be but I still don't quite understand how it gets from the casino to the bottom of Huon Road. I know how I'll get there though: just follow everyone else. I do have one friend who's also running but he's an M55 triathlete who does 19 min for 5km so will get to the top rather sooner than I do.
