Run 48:00 [3] 9.0 km (5:20 / km)
Lunchtime session on the Tan, on quite a warm lunchtime by recent standards - good practice for warmer races ahead (possible in WA, probable in Brazil). Didn't feel too bad though not terribly fast.
Spotted en route: the campaign car of Tim Smith, Liberal candidate for Kew and formerly of the Institute of Public Affairs. I did have a good line in preparation about the IPA's disdain for government regulation but can't use it because as far as I can tell the vehicle was parked legally.
Nothing in the Australian over the weekend (though there were brief pieces in a couple of the News Limited tabloids). Not sure if that means things are blowing over or whether they're just lying low for a few days because they'd heard that Media Watch were sniffing around (though it turned out Media Watch had a better offer - getting stuck into fabricating stories about Australian military planes coming under fire is a bit of an advance on getting stuck into fabricating stories about people fabricating temperature data).
Felt pretty tired riding home tonight - I don't often ride all the way on Monday (normally I leave the car at the pool and ride from there), so combining all modes of exercise I was at it for about 3 1/4 hours today (the last 30 minutes into a pretty stiff headwind).
