Ran around an old sprint course from a few years ago, dodging the potential uni students who were there for open day, and thankful for the drink fountains dotted around, because it was already a warm day although not as warm as in Penrith when we finally got there after finishing off our Christmas shopping...

Sweaty jog to/from where we'd parked in Glebe. Took a shortcut through the graffiti tunnel :)

Left work later than I'd have liked but it didn't take me as long to get across town as I'd feared. Decided to get all 20 controls on the scatter, which was much less linear than last week (thanks to the more convoluted street network) and kept me thinking until the end.

Real Cyclists were out in force in advance of the hot day, making me and my velocipede feel decidedly inferior. One (who I considered to be a tosser) spoke out as he came silently up behind - and startled me so that I swerved, then he proceeded to tell me to "stay in your line, and watch out for other cyclists behind you". Um...not sure how I'm meant to do that without rear-vision mirrors! I secretly wished the CPM would swoop upon him, but it's no longer spring any more, as evidenced by the guy standing in a Santa suit waving at passers-by.

Just a short one because:
a) it was hotter than I'd have liked;
b) I needed to get to OSA council meeting (which dragged on despite the number of people who weren't there).
Dunno why my legs felt so weak and wobbly?

Got inadvertently sunburned yesterday and was consequently feeling uncomfortably dessicated this morning. Decided not to do the sprints at Heathfield in the middle of the day and instead went for an afternoon jog, which was still less shady than I'd have liked.
