Starting from close to the 2018 Aust Long arena (yes, Simon did mention something about weddings...) we had a few uphill legs to the ridgeline and then 3 butterfly loops on top of Tower Hill, finishing next to the weather station. Good course from Evalin and it was a gloriously sunny day with amazing views from the top and I didn't get any phone calls about double-bookings with weddings :)

Collecting tapes and descending from the ridgeline.

Evalin had given me a map from the training a couple of weeks ago so I went around the 3km course (and found a couple of leftover tapes). The campground was absolutely chockers, fullest I've ever seen it - and it's a non-holiday weekend in the middle of winter!

Squelchy redwoods return with Zara - good thing her headlamp was fully charged, because mine was nearly the opposite.

Short one to get some fresh air in an attempt to ensure that I wasn't too grumpy for OA Board meeting - I'm a bit over having so many online meetings these days.

4 x 5 min along the river, with 90 sec recovery in between. I doubt I would even have made it 1km in any of these - certainly the others just kept getting further ahead - but I think they were reasonably consistent?

Mizzle made running conditions quite pleasant.

It's a bit further to Belair than it used to be from our old place...across Colonel Light Gardens to the bottom of Randell's Reserve, up to Burnell Drive via some new/modified singletracks with lovely switchbacks (the turnstile at the top has been removed, since MTBs are now allowed all through the reserve) down Gloucester/Caroline Ave and through Sleeps Hill quarries with great views, past Perry Ave house and home via streets where I used to walk the dog in his younger days. I used to be better at going up the hill in my younger days - but this run was mostly ok except that knees didn't like the steep descent.
