From Silverstream Bridge up the river, then up the Lockwood route into St Pats forest. Took the middle track back through the forest, but then turned right after the main valley to get an extra climb in. Then down the ridge towards Haywards and back through KGMP.
Yesterday, cricket in a short sleeved top, today running in a helly! Constant rain, which is very welcome.
Left hamstring a bit tight, but felt good running in the cooler temperature otherwise.

2nd day of 2-dayer v Collegians Chinamen.
We somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Out for 19 in the first innings as we were trying to score quickly. Didn't bowl, but then we got them out fairly cheaply. Batted at 3 in the second innings and did all the hard work of seeing off the only good bowler. Out to a very good ball that I couldn't have done much about (for just 17) but then rest of the team then committed suicide against a part time spinner. Annoying, but I did all that I could have done.

Loop round KGMP - out along Pinetops track.
First rain in weeks. Good for our water supply but not so good for running. Main difficulty though was the clouds of cicadas - a huge number of them flew into me. Maybe the rain gets them moving?
A bit tired physically.

Nets at Fraser.

OHV evening sprint - Maidstone.
Really struggled to get into this, and it was mostly running. Lost 30s at 10 where the map was just completely out of date and the control was in the wrong place. Then another 10s on 11 thanks to the ensuing confusion. Not surprised to be well beaten by Felix.

To the far summit of Mt Climie and back from Mangaroa. Reasonable, but the weather closed in which was a bit frustrating, so cold and no views at the top. All the felling has changed things a bit at the bottom.
