Had the chance to do the blackie run-up for a change so jogged down to the start from work. Not really enough warmup.

Black Mtn run-up. No John Harding, but he'd sent Carol along instead to do the timing and gramps looked after telling people where to go and starting us off. A big turnout including BA, plastic and scotty.I wasn't feeling very warmed up at the start so was a bit slower than usual on the bottom. Once we got on the hill I was in 4th a bit behind a group of 3 including stuey doyle. Once we got onto the steps I felt good, and could see the guys in front starting to struggle so I put in a surge and got past stuey and another guy who sounded like he was about to die. Couldn't get to the 1st place runner, but was strong over the last section. Not my best time, but respectable enough.

Run round circumcision and back to csiro. Had a good chat to scotty on the way.

Thought I'd left work early but somehow ended up running late so had to sprint round the warmup lap.

6x 1km(200). The first three were with parto as none of the fast group were there tonight, he was evidently doing it easy as he took off on the 4th one. There was a big puddle in the inside lanes of the home straight so I reckon that might have added a bit to the distance - at least that was my excuse for being a bit slower than usual.
Splits: 3.38, 3.32, 3.31, 3.27, 3.32, 3.34 (that 4th one was too fast)
