Caching Adventure...

so where was i?

ah, sunday...as planned we headed out to Fyshwick to buy our new transport...plus paddles, plus PFDs, plus pump (both manual & electric!)....then we split up to continue our individual Christmas shopping...

i stopped in at Kingston to catch up with some of my fellow Meteors at a Twenty20 match then headed home via Civic to get Tim's present...

didn't do much else except watch the cricket...

monday, no exercise, watched the end of the test (you beauty!) then helped out at U19s training...

tuesday, no exercise again except to do a cache in Glebe Park - Glebe Gates

wednesday, no exercise despite planning to do so, helped out at U19s training again then did two more caches on our way home - Bug On & Earthcache II - The geology of Woolshed Creek, ACT

which brings me, finally, to today!

i managed to organise sufficiently to ride in to work:

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 17.2/73%
start time: 7:36am
total distance: 15.45
total time: 40:39
avg/max speed: 22.8kph/39.5kph
cadence: -
avg/max HR: 130/157
calories: 466
finish temp/humidity: 18.5/68%

the reason being so that i could do a big caching adventure during a long lunchtime....2:02:07 later and 17.57ks (start temp/humidity: 25.7/40%, finish temp/humidity: 27.0/36% calories: 436), i managed to successfully complete all planned caches (7) :

Duntroon Dairy
PPT(D): Wartortle
PPT(E): Charizard
PPT(F): Squirtle
PPT(G): Venusaur
PPT: Return to Pallet Town
Wayward Waterloo

the "PPT" were all linked, you needed to visit (A)-(G) to get clues to be able to locate "Return to Pallet Town"...PPT = Pokemon Puzzle Trail...i'd already done (A)-(C) last month so was keen to finish it off...

i've now found 90 caches & hope to hit 100 sometime while i'm on leave...

EDIT: make that eight caches for the day as i did one Snap-Hook on the Fore!teenth on the ride home from work!...it was hard ride home too with a nasty headwind (or maybe i was just stuffed from riding nearly 50ks in the day!)

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 27.6/38%
start time: 5:48pm
total distance: 15.88
total time: 54:55 (doesn't include time doing cache)
avg/max speed: 17.4kph/35.8kph
cadence: 70rpm
avg/max HR: 132/154
calories: 406
finish temp/humidity: 25.7/47%

I cannot think of anything worse than being on leave and not being able to exercise.
Not the allrounder I know.
Hope everything is resolved quickly for you; best wishes at the Doctor's today.
