Perth...

up early yesterday to walk the dogs before we headed to the airport for a 9am flight to MEL...

our flight to PER was delayed at MEL due to single runway operations at MEL so we arrived in PER just after 1:40pm...

after checking in to our hotel (two blocks from the Swan River), I had a bit of a rest before heading out for a run...it was quite windy but the temperature was lovely...only one wrong turn (missing an underpass) which lead to a wait of 30secs to cross Riverside Dr...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 23.2/50% (apparent temp same)
start time: 3:37pm
total distance: 9.90
total time: 55:23
avg pace: 5:36
total calories: 714
avg HR: 144
TE: 3.8
recovery HR: 110/40

we watched the AB Medal presentation before to Crown Casino for dinner to celebrate Tammie's birthday and a bit of a gamble...actually I only gambled (and lost) Tammie's money on roulette which she came out ahead on Blackjack even with my losses!

this morning I was up early to do a 30/30 x 20 session...went the opposite direction to yesterday's run heading past the WACA...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 16.1/61% (apparent temp same)
start time: 6:19am
total distance: 7.24
total time: 40:00
avg pace: 5:31
total calories: 477
avg HR: 139
TE: 3.3
recovery HR: 102/36

I took a pen with me so I could find a couple of caches on the water's edge before heading back to the room...this meant that after 11yrs 26days I had finally found a cache in each state and territory...I was last in PER for cricket and I hadn't yet discovered caching...

after breakfast, we went for a stroll and found a couple more...

we had to be at the airport by 11am for Tammie's 1pm flight to Christmas Island - even though it's a domestic flight passengers still have to clear Customs etc...Tammie headed through at about 11:45pm and I caught the free bus to Terminal 4 where I had a wait for my flight at 3:35pm...

my flight left on time and we arrived early in CBR at 10:10pm...I had to call past my parcel locker to pick up some parcels and was home just on 11pm...

now I'm watching the BBL semi (recorded) while I do some washing...back to work for me tomorrow!
