First stage of a Friday morning double from Fitzroy Pool. Managed to find a route which didn't involve crossing any really major roads and didn't have any crossovers, although it involved a bit of convoluted stuff around the Exhibition Gardens. Stiff early, but going along reasonably well after the first 10 minutes or so.

Spotted the first defaced poster of the election campaign (someone had added "AND GUNS" to the Liberal Democrats "Tax Cuts For All"). They're a bit slow off the mark this year - usually by this stage at least a few candidate posters are sporting Hitler moustaches. There was a poster sighted in my part of town yesterday "Bruce Wayne for Batman", but sadly, when the list of nominations was announced today, Mr. Wayne was not amongst them.

The swim didn't go so well. Was having trouble with foot cramps almost from the beginning, and when I started to get calf cramps as well it was a worry - one particularly sharp one was enough to convince me enough was enough. Not sure what the problem was - there was no sign of trouble on the run, I don't think my diet this week has been unusually salt-deficient, and lack of hydration certainly hasn't been an issue. To add to the mystery, no sign of feeling untoward through the rest of the day, either.
