River loop with Clare. nice morning to be out before it got too warm. Showed Clare a couple of alternate route options, including the chelmer extension.

A double round of coffees at the bean afterwards.

Run from Clare's, with Clare. Hot early, and spent the whole time looking forward to the pool at the end.
I was planning on doing a longer run, but it was just not an option today. I started tired after a rubbish night's sleep but was much slower than I should have been even then. My heart rate wasn't up at all - just no energy and couldn't get the legs going. Clare spent a lot of time waiting for me. I suspect that I need a bit more salt.

Pool was great at the end. watched obama's osprey helicopters go back and forth a couple of times - they're pretty cool.

cruise around anzac park (before it got dark!). saw the tail of one of the G20 motorcades on the western freeway - there was an excessive helicopter presence and about 20 police vehicles, but didn't see who it was. its quite odd in brissy at the moment - there's obviously a lot going on, but everyone is doing their best to pretend it isn't.
2 sets of 5 chinups.

O intervals at UQ, in pairs, alternating taking a 20 second head start. Mark didn't catch me on the first one, thanks to an area of construction blocking his route. I'm claiming the catch on the second one, partly thanks to his fumbled 'punch' at the finish. I was going well on the third until we got stuffed up by some badly mapped gardens. 4th was good, but no chance of catching Mark with the long running legs. I think I have some map corrections to do here too. I got caught on the last one cos I didn't see the first 2 tapes, but then Mark dsq'd himself by running through a hedge. I'm claiming an even score.

it was my first experiment with running with glasses on. went ok although they fogged up when I stopped. definitely better for reading the map!

not sure of total time as my watch didn't make it to training.
