Run 43:00 [3] 8.5 km (5:04 / km)
A morning session starting near the Fitzroy pool because I'm otherwise engaged in the evening. Felt rather stiff and sore for a lot of the way but picked up in the last 15 minutes. Probably reasonably normal for a Monday morning.
The Merri path is finally open again, seven months after the major works were finished on the Clifton Hill rail bridge - a statistic which tells you everything that needs to be said about how much priority cyclists and pedestrians get in transport project planning. At least it's got some attractive new signs now.
Not a good weekend for the sporting causes I supported: Australian cricket (lost), Essendon (lost), Canberra Raiders (lost), Wallabies (lost), Mark Webber (didn't score a point) and Australian orienteering (OK, but not what we might have hoped for). Just as well for Dani Samuels and Steve Hooker.

Swimming 35:00 [2] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
Second leg of the Monday triathlon. Again couldn't really get going. Some quite heavy showers came through during this session, but I was happy that they happened while I was in the pool and not while riding to work afterwards.
Spent the rest of the day keeping track of the vast number of August temperature records that either had been broken or were broken during the day in more northern parts, by up to five degrees in places. In terms of statistical improbability this is the equivalent of getting to 49 or thereabouts in Melbourne in summer.
