Darwin Day 1...

phew, it feels like I've been here for a week but it's only been just over a day!

landed at 1:15am yesterday morning and then hung around the airport until 9am before catching a cab into town...

got some breakfast and then strolled to my accommodation (Ti Tree Apartments on Woods St) to find that I was bale to leave my stuff there while I went and hired a mountain bike for a week and did a little bit of grocery shopping...

back to the apartments again and a quick change into running gear and I was out again for my 60min run...

this was a very easy run as it was quite (!) warm and I was familiarising myself with the area...


the stats:
start temp/humidity: 26.9/38% (rising to 28.4/37%)
start time: 11:47am
total distance: 9.39
total time: 1:00:00
avg pace: 6:23
total calories: 708
avg/max HR*: 161/171*

Time spent in HR Zones:
00:00 [Z1: 93-111]
00:31 [Z2: 111-130]
00:15 [Z3: 130-148]
56:46 [Z4: 148-167]
03:17 [Z5: 167-185]


1k splits: 5:36, 5:36, 6:13, 6:15, 6:46, 6:46, 6:36, 6:43, 7:03*

(caught up in pedestrian traffic!)

back to the apartments for a shower then it was off to the Twenty20 match - laptop backpack on back and on the bike...

an exciting game, Australia won by 1 run...no air-conditioning in the scorer's box (the temp topped 30 outside) but they aim to have that fixed by tomorrow...

after all that I had an early night!

Why did you hang around the airport for that long, AR? No cabs?

Good to see you getting into things quickly, though. I envy you in that warm weather.
