Woke up far too early, which pleased the dog but not myself, and then I remembered that the others had said they were going to parkrun at Lochiel Park, so I decided to go along. 2.5km outbound then back again along the River Torrens Linear Park path, and for some reason I thought the net uphill would be greater in the first half since it was upstream and therefore a negative split should be easy on the return leg...hahaha.
Actual splits:
5:11 - this included actually getting across the start line which took a few sec
5:16
5:32
5:17
5:00
Turnaround was at 13:13 and even though I had secretly hoped to get under 26 min, I knew I'd not be able to go 30 sec faster on the way back, because that nice hill we'd just coasted down was in my immediate future - but I did manage 10 sec faster, so that's not nothing, and at least I paced myself ok even though I am very slow these days. Nice to see a whole bunch of Arrows there including Emily & Sarah :)

Dunno where the afternoon went - on orienteering emails mostly - but I had intended to go blackberrying in Belair and finally got up there after dinner. Rode directly to the far end of the valley then worked my way back past a few disappointing patches, although I did eventually fill a lunchbox before it got dark.
