Morning run based from Canterbury station, my base in anticipation of tonight's street-O. (The traffic at 6.45 is far uglier than I remember it being - glad that I wasn't trying to get onto the freeway at Bulleen Road). This run had its moments but never quite caught alight, and was still rather slow. Nice morning.

Street-O at Canterbury. I seem to have run on this map an awful lot over the years and my last two outings here have been good, but this one wasn't. Lost time on the first control (which was tucked a bit up an unmapped side lane) and was behind the eight-ball from there (and didn't really have anyone to race with). Felt as if I was running all right, but the stopwatch doesn't lie - only started to get into a reasonable pace in the last couple of kilometres (and found a bit for a finish sprint against three of the Camberwell Grammar boys, whom I presume were on a different course). Not a great time to have hit a bit of a flat spot.
