Woke up this morning to find snow on the ground, not much but enough to take a picture of and send to the family around Aust. Locals will have seen it for themselves. So, too cold to run early, then the swimming was on from the Olympics at noon, so the run was not until 1:30 pm.
It was very easy to be inspired to go running after that brilliant swim from Stephanie in the medley, such a stunner in all the ways. Tops to look at, great tactical swim, said catch me if you can, and they couldn't, broke the world record by heaps.
Loaded up in warmer clothes than yesterday, found a long sleeved top that I took to NZ for Kepler Challenge a few years ago. I only wear it when it really cold, it keeps the heat in, but you get too hot once the temp gets above 5 degrees. Bike shorts under running shorts, second shirt over the top and gloves, and as CJ sometimes says, not quite Michelin Man.
Warmer from the start, inspired by Steph to run, much better even with the cold NW wind. Easy track down to Point Hut, along the river to Pine Is and back home. Very few people about, except in cars with the heaters on.
That inspiration will keep me going for a long while. So good.
