Tired from last night, I was quite groggy this morning and took a while to get going. Cycled out the to the start/finish line of the 'Tour of Canberra' first stage at 11 o'clock to attempt to catch the finish of the Elites, with Bob's namesake nephew 'Fast Rob' McLachlan. Lots of people, but not much luck in seeing the guys.

Rode into Reconciliation Place (in front of the National Library) for the ACT Cross Country Club's Saturday run. Mainly social, I ran conservatively, in the same time as yesterday (22:53) with a 10 second negative split, and an annoying finish on thick, wet grass. At least I'm consistent!

A beautiful day, rode a rambling way home with more thoughts and plans of trail running adventures dancing in my head.

News is that Rob won the Stage this afternoon, although out-sprinted in the first stage this morning. 'Just' a single 148km Stage tomorrow. Almost makes you wonder why they bother! ;-)
