This ended up being an evening session of 250s on the Tan after a day when other windows of opportunity disappeared - was doing a blood test eaerly which I couldn't eat before and wasn't keen to run without having eaten anything, then had to drop something off at lunchtime (as it turned out a late-running meeting would have stopped me going at lunchtime anyway).
This was a rather strange-feeling session on a crowded Tan - never felt even remotely fast and ended up as a bit of a token-gesture session. Felt a little tight again without the specific hamstring issues of the last couple of days.
Went into this one feeling a little unsettled by the day's news. I've seen enough of the wilder shores of rhetoric circulating in regional Australia to fear that one day the violent rhetoric might turn into actual violence (and it's never been far from our minds that if it did, those of us working in climate change featured amongst the candidates to be potential victims), and
now it has. This should, but almost certainly won't, be treated by the media and the community as seriously as they would the murder of a policeman (already the alleged shooter has been the subject of a fair bit of vaguely sympathetic public comment, not least from Barnaby Joyce).
