was a beautiful day but I only got out there at 4.15 as the sun was going down so it got pretty cold! 8 x 3minshard, 2mins moderate sets from kingston beach almost to taroona and back.

From lifts opening to lifts closing with a stop for lunch and morning tea! All the runs are very very short so I didn't get the leg-burning feeling I've had previously on long runs but it was still pretty exhausting - including the hairy rides up on the t-bars and pommers - no chair lift to rest on!

According to the B.O.M. the air temp was 4.5 degrees as I put my boat into the water at 4.45pm today. According to M.E. the water temperature was f**king freezing when I fell out of my boat at 4.46 pm as a result of a manouver that was designed to keep me dry getting in. Sheesh.

I was thinking that would be the end of my paddling session but I managed to recover (both from embarassement, and from shock) and had a good session of 3 x 2.5km solid sets in about 16, 17 & 17 minutes respectively.

ran around the waterworks up to ridgeway then back down. Was running through snow from the top of gentle annie falls. fun!

wasn't a particularly good run - but I blame the weather.. and the course was a bit steep.
