From Piccadilly on a lovely evening, after spending the afternoon at an ARC meeting. Had expected legs to be hammered after an excruciating Killer Massage this morning but they were ok even on hills.

Mentally dead today as it was nearly 1am last night before I had finished working out actual running distance on sprint courses (surely there's got to be an easier way than piece of string and doing the maths with north lines 120m apart; does any course planning software have a freehand drawing tool?).

Anyway, nice run with Fern & Zara/Callum although coming down the dilapidated/overgrown steps from the trainline to Long Gully was a tactical error. Afterwards I was grateful that Fern had saved me some dinner because it was 10pm by the time Tyson and I had finalised start draw and event information and uploaded them.

3-Hills loop in Sheps once I'd finished at work. The hills happened a bit on autopilot because my brain is so full of everything else - when sprint champs are over I'll be able to get my life back, I mean do all the OA stuff which is overdue...

Legs felt much better than yesterday but this was all I had time for, in between real work and OSA Council meeting via Zoom - which caused a serious conflict of interest with viewing the Port Lincoln leg of the Amazing Race :(

Pears, pears everywhere. Our tree is fruiting the best it ever has, because I pruned and watered it perfectly at the right times, but I can't give a single one away because we are in the red zone of the Black Forest fruit fly outbreak and so both of our fridges are full of quarantined pears and every time I open the door another damn pear leaps out and makes a break for freedom...

Tanahmerah-Gum flat loop, anticlockwise this time, on a perfect cool morning, with Zara/Roo, Steve/Lexi, Ethan, Toby, Ben, Simon, Liv. The others didn't have to wait for the straggler tooo much; actually this was 2 min faster for me than the reverse version last May, even though that way around has less steep hills (I mean not-so-steep, rather than less of them in total). Afterwards though, I had to wait half an hour for my parents to return from their walk and was getting worried because I know they can't walk for 2 hours, but of course my phone was locked in my car for which they had my keys, and so I couldn't check on how they were going - turned out they'd found a blackberry patch, so I didn't have to share mine.
