Went to the trouble of carefully packing my day pack with work clothes, food etc and putting my bike in the back of the car and parking at Blackwood with car and yoga mat thereby ready for after work Pilates. Got bike out, put back pack on, locked car , went to get on bike to cycle to work - something didn't feel right - darn it I left my helmet at home! Not enough time to drive back so put bike back in and drove to work. Frustrating!
So had a lunchtime swim to help compensate. Lanes set at 50 m today and had one to myself. Very pleasant.

Run with Bear up to Karka pavilion and back. Felt very sweaty.

Group run to Mylor and back via bandicoot trail. I love that trail but feel I am quite slow on the twisty single track. Despite starting an hour earlier it was still v warm. This continued hot weather has caught up with me - when I arrived home I promptly fell asleep for 2 + hours!

Loop with Leith and dogs. Still feeling the heat - we had a walk part way through.

Plodding run around Ben's medium course on the Goodwood map. Nice to get the o vireo of the suburb. Despite the ploddy pace I was very sweaty on this very hot night after a 42 C day .

Surprised myself by joining Jenny for a run on this hot day. It was after 7 so the sun was lower and the Long Gully was cooler as usual than surrounds.
A little swim on the way back was most welcome, followed by a longer swim once home.

Lunch time swim at the unsurprisingly crowded aquatic centre.
My car thermometer recorded 46 C when I drove home. No significant relief in sight.

Up Saddle hill then pyramid intervals down queens jubilee drive- the 3 minute ones were hard work. Out between 9-10 and it was hot. Left Callum at home today, he will be having a quiet few days.
