Run ((street-O)) 59:45 [3] * 10.9 km (5:29 / km) +270m 4:53 / km
spiked:18/19c
Ventured out to North Balwyn for street-O tonight, but wasn't really ready for it, particularly the hills (which exist in some abundance on this map). Struggling through the first half, loosened up a bit in the second half, but even then well short of where I'd like to be. Knew from fairly early on in the piece that it was going to be hard to get all the controls; as it turned out I dropped one, which could have been got with a 400-metre out and back, but I didn't think I had the two minutes needed to get it (as it turned out I had only 15 seconds in hand).
It may not have been quite on the scale of Deer Park 2004, but the allegedly genteel streets of North Balwyn had their share of ungenteelness tonight, starting with someone who advised me to "get f***ed" out of their car window for no good reason early on, and culminating with the vigorous verbal altercation which was taking place in a side street on the way between 6 and 20. I couldn't quite work out what was causing the high-volume exchange of unpleasantries although it appeared a dog might have had something to do with it. I blame Tony Abbott.
