Street-O @ Diamond Creek

Very hilly little map. It was hot during the day, but a cool change had come through in the late afternoon, and it started raining quite heavily (rain... remember what that is?!) about halfway through the course. Got quite soaked by the end.

I was following a couple of young things into a recreation reserve at the top of a steep road. There was a grassy bank about 2-3m high leading up to the reserve, and one of the girls tried climbing up it. She got about halfway up, and started slipping in the long dry grass. So funny - she slid nearly all the way back down. Her friend and I were both laughing.

Managed to cover a fair distance, considering it was all uphill.

6.5 km in 9:18/km. 216m elevation climb.

Drove past a McDonalds on the way home without a single glance. Okay, I *did* give it a glance and considered stopping, but kept on going and had some healthy rolled oats when I got home.

* muesli
* Fasta Pasta, garlic bread and Coke
* chocolate slice thing that my manager was handing around (couldn't say no!)
* handfull dried fruit
* porridge + honey
