Blown Away by the Wind

Today:
Distance: 14.55 km
Time: 80' 41"
Rate: 5' 33" per km
Weather: sunny, cool, temp 18 degrees, humidity 35%, strong southerly wind at 30 kmph
Week: 73.8 km
Feb: 364.4 km - 19/29 days = 19.18 km per run day
Year: 885.45 km - 45/60 days = 19.68 km per run day

Wind is the only factor worth discussing today. The sun shone with little warmth in it due to the strong southerly that blew all day. I rode the mtn bike to work early this morning with a tail wind, didn't make much difference in time to get there. At the end of the day it was hard work just to get home against the wind.
Strangely, running mid morning, I didn't notice the wind when against, but did notice the lack of assistance with the wind helping.
Just a trot around the river area, stopped for 15 minutes to stand in the water, which is getting noticeably cooler now, and back to work.
The running kms above for February show a big drop in distance covered compared with January. A taper and recovery week for the Maroondah Dam run mid month really did decrease the training. A bit freshening up before SFT will also reduce the March kms.
