In Melbourne and wasn't doing park run as plan was for Zoe and Belinda too. But Zoe woke up a bit off colour so I got the late call up. Shorter warm up time as a result and back felt a bit stiff from last nights drive.

Westerfolds Parkrun. Steep course and windy today, particularly headwind in 2nd k which is flat and normally 'make time' on it. Some young whippersnapper took off at start and showed some form. However passed him at 1k and he was blowing like a steam train and losing all form. On my own from there and into aforementioned headwind. 3rd and particularly 4th k are very uphill and I seemed to push on fairly well. Concentrated on really moving down big hill from rangers hut in 5th k and felt much more in control than usual - extra core strength work at flex? Much to my surprise official time 18.15 (finish line was a bit hazy so stopped watch late for 18.19) which when I looked it up was 20s faster than PB for here. Very surprising as thought pretty solid PB for me. Walked round with a strut for rest of day even if noone else knew why. ;-)

Longer warm down to cater for strut time. Not that anyone else knew.
