Sunday long run from Hackett with Miss Jones, Dreaded and Rebecca (some of the usual crowd are saving their energy for the race up Mt Tennant tomorrow). The cloud cover meant the temperature was well under 20 C for the whole run ... nice.

A slightly different route today: around the bottom of Hackett Hill then over the saddle into Campbell Park; then around to the bottom of the Ainslie summit path; up to the top of Ainslie; we dropped off Dreaded then continued along the bottom of HH on the single track and dropped off Reg; then Miss Jones ran to the top of Majura via the triple-tri track while I took the direct route up the main spur - her goal was to get to the top before me, which she did, but not my much; back down the main spur to near the start then a bit extra up towards the saddle to let Miss Jones bring up 2hrs.

Breakfast at Sfoglia. I went the bacon and egg on focaccia which was nice for a change but it was too much food. Coffee was good.

Warm up before the run. The warm down didn't eventuate as it turned into a speed-up with Miss Jones down the final stretch until it resembled an interval effort rather than a slow jog.

Ride out along Gininderra Creek. First ride for a while, but I was inspired after watching the Tour Down Under highlights.

Lunchtime swim at CISAC.

Summer Series at Aranda Bushlands. A really good course by Bryant, plus we got to use the bit of bush that is normally our of bounds. It was quite hot (over 30 degrees) but it didn't affect me as much as I thought it would.
