Pretty weary after yesterday, so took it easy for most of this. Went to Cockies run; Majura then Ainslie via Hackett, so pretty standard. Had Jo, Devil, Lachy & Ian for company.

Back at the car, looking forward to a relaxing coffee before picking Nat & girls up from a 4th birthday part, Jo mentioned that she had a couple of missed calls from nat on her phone. I had 7 missed calls and 3 texts -- turned out Nat's ride to the part (in Kaleen) ended in disaster with a mechanical problem in the chariot (3 of 4 bolts attaching the suspension to the frame had snapped, and she couldn't move). Was stuck on Hayden Drive, 2 unhappy kids missing a party, etc. After some consideration, I decided to miss coffee and pick them up straight away.

Jase & Scotty coaxed me out for a re-run of the Doov, Little Black, Aranda Hill combo. Obviously they need to toughen up for 6 ft, but why does that mean I have to suffer so much? Anyway, felt pretty good, and times backed that feeling up -- 9:45 for the Doov, 9:17 for Little Black and 3:35 for Aranda. All significantly faster than our December version of this run, and faster than a normal Doov-Aranda session. Was completely lactic at the top of Aranda, and struggled to run home.

Ran home from work at the end of two very long days.

Did the Street-O in Turner. Kind of fun, but not a lot of competition, except for Jules who missed the start, made a massive mistake where I did the same and then came streaming by again.

While I did enjoy it, I'm not a big fun of putting controls on features that aren't on the map (e.g. Lamppost, No. 4)...
