Run 26:00 [3] 5.0 km (5:12 / km)
The running club had a 15km race today. I wasn't up for that but it was in 5km loops so I joined the girls when they came past for the second 5km. Felt great, I think because it was so flat and there were people to chat to and I was not pushing a pram. I need to increase my distance soon. Perhaps I will do the half marathon that is on in 4 weeks. Or not.

Roadie 1:17:00 [3] 32.0 km (2:24 / km)
shoes: Shiny carbon pro lite
Wow, I actually did something...
Strong westerly today so I rode into it along the coast to the windfarm, then turned around and flew home. Added the observatory hill in on the way back but it was still 8min quicker than the way out. Beautiful morning so there were lots of surfers, tourists, policemen, dog-walkers and bogans out there but didn't see any other bikes, I think I was too late for them.
Really enjoyed it, especially the way back when I could push a bit. The way there was a bit like doing leg presses at the gym.

MTB (trailer) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Yeti ASR
Finally (2 weeks after getting the trailer to Esperance) got Edmund a helmet this morning. Then finally (after 2 years) got around to changing the tube on my flumpcycle and cleaning and servicing it ready for its new role as a trailer-towing bike. Finally finally I can take Edmund riding!
Then found out that the skewer on the back wheel of the flumpcycle is too short to allow trailer towing, and that the helmet is too bulky to allow Edmund to sit in the seat without causing more neck injuries than it is meant to prevent, so I took him for a ride on the bike path behind the yeti and without a helmet. I could've done that 2 weeks ago!
We rode to Twilight Beach enjoying the stonking tailwind. Then rode slowly home. The hills are short but steep and frequent so I will be strong in no time. It is hard work towing a sleeping person - now I know how tRicky feels in ARs.
