Run 1:44:00 [3] 20.2 km (5:09 / km)
Backed off a little bit on what I'd originally planned for today after pulling up a little tight yesterday, but it ended up OK. Took the first proper opportunity to go along the lake - still extensive areas of ice in splash zones, but they've retreated enough to be able to go around them. After leaving the lake shore there was a scenically-unpleasant 15 minutes to be endured along a main road with major roadworks complicating things, but that set up a nice section on deserted lanes through the hills behind the lake, before coming back into the city for the last 20 minutes. A moderate run but still a reasonably solid one to get under my belt.
The record of every run here being done in a temperature below freezing was not broken, but it's warmed up during the day to the point of reaching double figures (still some way short of the 18.7 in Birmingham yesterday, a degree short of the British record for February).
I start the long haul home in a few hours. After being a regular visitor here in the last year and a bit it feels a bit odd that I won't be back in the near future (for work at least - I might find myself passing through around the time of WOC). The position rotates around the regions every two years but I'm not sure what I'll be doing when Oceania's turn next comes up, in 2022.
