BBQ Stakes #95 (reverse #23)...

a good ride home last night which included dodging boingas on the bike path between the two Waldock St crossings!...lucky my lights are good...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 20.3/52% (apparent temp same)

total distance: 17.64
total time: 43:28 (including 0:36 stopped time)
avg speed: 24.3kph

muggyish for this morning's walk...rode into work...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 17.6/67% (apparent temp same)
start time: 8:05am
total distance: 16.60
total time: 38:23 (including 0:07 stopped time)
avg speed: 26.0kph
total calories: 344
avg HR: 1129

had physio at 10am - a second appointment for my back which is coming good and to start work on my heel/ankle/achilles issue...looks like it's at the insertional...gave me an exercise to do plus a wedge to try in my shoes...

he actually stirred it up quite a bit which didn't bode well for BBQ Stakes...!

conditions were warmish the reverse run...the rabbit had been gifted another 15secs by the handicapper which gave her a 15min head start - it's Royal Commission time!

not much faster than a jog to get around, very sore and very slow...the rabbit was that concerned that something had happened to me that she came back a bit to jog in with me...I reckon she was just rubbing it in!

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 24.4/39% (apparent temp same)
start time: 12:29pm
total distance: 6.03
total time: 39:35
avg pace: 6:35
total calories: 467
avg HR: 140
TE: 3.3
recovery HR: 110/32
BPK: 922

splits: 5:39, 6:35, 6:51, 6:43, 7:10, 6:33, 0:06

almost as slow as the January reverse which was when my heel/ankle/achilles issued first raised it's head but that was to be expected given it was sore to start...

I finished 68th (second last I think), 17 spots & 5:19 behind the rabbit (49:16) who will no doubt get another 15secs back for next week!

there's a new section of bike path near the Woden Flood Memorial as they are doing some sort of construction work...

Good Friday

walked the boys...fitted my new kayak carriers to the roof...did some cache maintenance for Suze then found some (7/8)...DNF'd a tricky one at the tennis courts at Old Canberra House...

Saturday

volunteered at parkrun (barcode scanning)...#24, one more for purple!

golf - stableford...average round...30pts for me, 35pts for Tammie (second)...

got Tammie to help me find the cache I DNF'd Friday...lucky as I still wouldn't have found it!

picked squiggle up from Jolimont as she is here for the school holidays (VIC started two weeks earlier)...

Sunday

we all went to Hall Markets with Jodie, Lisa and the bark brothers...found a cache there (right in the middle)

later on in the afternoon Jodie and Lisa came over and the three of us did a three-cache trek over Urambi Hill...worked up an appetite for dinner!

I took the boys on a longer walk before heading out to do some caching including being FTF on a new one at Weston Park (10/11)...
