Run 44:00 [3] 7.4 km (5:57 / km)
Morning jaunt around Stanthorpe with Jenny, including a trip to the lookout with the broadcast towers above town (about 120 metres above town level). I probably wouldn't have chosen something quite so hilly but was glad that I did, because I felt rather stronger on the climbs than I have at any time in the last fortnight - somewhat relative, but still gives me a little more confidence for tomorrow (not that big climbs will be a major feature of tomorrow).
Did some exploring in the rest of the day, including the Bald Rock climb - picked a good day for it (despite the chilly wind) with very clear air, and the view extending all the way to Mount Warning.
Did a brief wander around at the model without doing anything worth logging (except perhaps for getting sprayed with mud helping to extricate a bogged campervan). Brickbats on the way home to the aggressive, light-flashing and horn-blowing tailgater on the highway; I hope he did something productive with the nine seconds by which he ultimately beat us to the edge of Stanthorpe.
Thinking that tomorrow, 4th/5th will be a par result with anything higher being a bonus; I can't see myself beating Steve or Jock unless they strike trouble, although Eric (who hasn't had a great preparation) might be closer to the pack. Got to get round the course cleanly myself, of course.
