running (Reabold Hill) 51:00 [3] 8.0 km (6:23 / km)
shoes: Asics Nimbus 23 black/pink
Flew out of Adelaide at 6am - urgh. Thanks to the current 2 1/2 hour time difference, arrived in Perth at 7am, and thanks to the new airport train (although technically it stops under only one half of the airport, there is a public bus doing endless laps from the antisocial Qantas terminal to nearby brand new Redcliffe station) which goes right through to Claremont, I arrived at Richard & Nicole's in Shenton Park while they were still having breakfast so claimed second breakfast for myself as kale & quinoa hotcakes as served on the plane are not real food.
In the afternoon, having done some controllers' workshop setup, met Rachel to run the Zamia trail in the Reabold Park bushland - basically a big sandhill - where I had never been before and the loop has lookouts over both city and ocean. Not being used to a 26 degree day and having foolishly left my water bottle behind when earlier Richard and I walked around the botanic gardens in Kings Park, admiring the kangaroo paws still in bloom, I was a bit hot and thirsty but thankfully Rachel was happy to stop and admire the views too :)
