slog out to Skeleton Point from home and back 9.00 out 11.04 back knee feeling good to last 200m on road to house.

Worlds End for Day 3.. The long walk up to the top of the hill in the sun was an omen for the long run ahead..yes it was an epic..felt at one point I was in one of those old western films with teh spectacular views from the top of the hills..one of them I was standing on top of when I realised I should be on top of the hill to the left across the steep gully..bugga..only ended up 2 minutes behind the leader on this leg..don't know how. Had a brain fade in the heat about number 9 when Mike Dowling cruised past and ran up the wrong watercourse thinking it was the massive dry creek on the map..another 8 minutes down! arrgh...who put these hills here? beutiful country..amazing vegetation that grows here in very very dry country..yes Goyder this was not suitable for cropping and probably not grazing either. And oh yes the sprint up the finish chute to the end.. Felt strong throughout the course..need to improve on hill climbs though and not just head for the first saddle I see.

buggered up the start, once in the rhythm just kept going..long legs and lots of open across the top of the plateau..more up and down up down up down..what were those pine trees?..look very much like south esk pines to me..dry and dusty..saw two tawny frogmouths. yeah...
