Tour de pete. Managed to drag myself out of bed, was expecting to be doing a solo effort as jase had already bailed. Was a bit late and saw sebba and kez heading off when i got to the shops so had to do a bit of work to catch up. No rain or wind today, but there were a few frost hollows that were a little bit nippy. Cut short down gungahlin drive, this is a good bit of road, smooth surface and a touch downhill, better than slogging along horsepark drive.

Short run round little black at lunchtime as didn't have a lot of time.

Black mountain rep session. Acejase turned up early and was chomping at the bit in the csiro carpark. Was a bit of a chilly morning compared to the last week or so so was wearing all the winter gear. I decided to go for 3 reps, managed to overtake a couple of other punters on the first climb, and saw jase finishing the hill as i came out of the top loop. Stuck with last week's method of taking it easy on the first climb and not trying to stay in the saddle all the way. Managed to be fairy consistent across the reps, 12.31, 13.06, 13.18. Could feel jelly legs on the last one and the banana sanger I'd had before.

Rest weekend. Was rostered to help at the crossy on saturday - my job was to stand at the end of Dunrossil Drive and stop the GG if he came out while the race crossed the road. Story was that last year an over-zealous protective services cop thought it'd be good to drive up and down the road. No action but did read a fair bit of the paper waiting between races. Had already declared a high cbf factor re. Ratall creek so spent sunday ferrying 3 trailer loads of garden rubbish to the recycling place.
