We changed out plans on where to go to celebrate my birthday. Port Douglas was planned but a triathlon on the beach front ruled that out. Instead we headed to the Atherton Tableland for a run and BBQ at Lake Eacham. Lovely spot with a walking track of 3 km around the outside. Nice and closed in by the rain forest, much cooler than at sea level on the coast, but a really nice spot.
A few people about walking the track, nicely undulating on a gravel track. Lost the GPS signal for most of the run.
Four laps before lunch and a couple after ranging in time from 18'40" down to fast one at 16'13".
An ice cream on the way back then we celebrated with a few champagnes so please excuse the blog story tonight. Today has been a great birthday, must get up here more often.
The coach has given me tomorrow morning off before track at night when we do 200 metres and then go again inside a minute. Three sets of 10, I will be stuffed at the finish.
Long run on Tuesday morning on the beach before flying home in the afternoon.
There were wild turkeys at the BBQ, not to be eaten and not to be drunk.
Finally found some water cold enough to soak the legs in with the fresh water in the lake probably at 20 degrees temp instead of the sea at 23. Overnight has also been cold, temps getting down to a cool degrees,the locals are shivering.
