Plan A was to go to Wylie's Baths, an oceanside sea-water pool at Coogee. I've had a somewhat cursed experience with this pool and it was to strike again: my 2012 attempt to swim here was scuttled by a storm and in 2015 it didn't open in time. This time it was a new one - I arrived to learn the pool was full of stingers. (Don't think a run this morning would have gone well - felt sleepy for a long time, which might well have been trying to get up early the morning after the conference dinner).

Not feeling especially like being stung, I switched to plan B, which was the rather less scenic surrounds of the UNSW aquatic centre after the end of the day's conference proceedings. The swim itself was reasonably routine, but had a couple of short-lived episodes of knee soreness later in the swim - not sure why.
