Swimming 33:00 [2] 1.0 km (33:00 / km)
As noted in yesterday's log, decided to swap this with the usual Thursday session (which will happen tomorrow). Felt strange getting up as late as 5.50 on a Thursday. Felt OK on the swim (certainly less exhausted than when I fell into bed last night having battled to stay awake until 10).
Saturday's forecast looks even uglier than it did this time yesterday. A fire danger index of 50 or above constitutes an extreme fire danger rating. The Ballarat forecast for Saturday is 296....(and I think 43 is at the lower end of the plausible range of possibilities for Melbourne's temperature). At least by Monday the Great Heatwave of 2009 will be an unpleasant memory.
