My first cold weather run in Canberra, up just after 6am for some hills on the ridge. It was cold, about 2 deg, but otherwise a very nice morning. I got to watch sun rise right at the end of my run. This is probably the coldest run I've done since Canada. Did 4 x 550m hills with about 40m climb each rep. Since the hill is only little, to get a decent amount of climb I had to start down in the streets and climb the gate on each rep.
On the jog down from the first rep I realised I could vault the gate. I tried to do it on the way up in the next rep and that nearly ended flat on my face in front of a walker.
I also discovered that while vaulting with my left hand and left leg was easy doing it right hand and right leg first felt impossible. If you'd been nearby, you could have seen me looking an idiot doing practice jumps before I could even bring myself to (successfully) attempt it!
Times were 2:46, 2:46, 2:48, 2:46.
