Last Eastside jaunt for the year. Passed on the fancy dress again (there were ideas circulating but the required co-conspirators were lacking) but still didn't seem right to go hard. So was planning on taking it relatively easily most of the way then going for it in the last km. Got that half right - the accelerator pedal was missing when I hit 4km. (Still scrabbling round looking for it). I think I'll blame the conditions - was the first truly muggy night of the season. Still, it wasn't that long ago that 24 minutes was very definitely not a 'cruise'...

Final urban rogaine, Pukete. Thought I would be going quite slow but once warmed up, found myself adjusting first loop plans significantly upwards (but then dropped a couple near the end when I was beginning to worry about the bonus point window). Mysteriously 'lost' 5 minutes going over the hill on the 2nd loop and thought I would end up dropping all my alternative finishes for a straight run back from 19, but with a burst of speed picked up 2 more and finished with plenty of breathing space. Can't help thinking I could have done things much more efficiently if I'd really thought about it but my priority for the night was to get back early enough to get the final series results processed promptly and still have a nice run!
