Return to Hervey Bay

Today:
Distance:  9.00 km
Time: 43' 41"
Rate:  4' 51" per km
Weather, sunny, temp 23 degrees, humidity 40%, wind ESE 15 km, sea temp 21 degrees
Week: 9.00 km, July:  32.85 km, Year:  1254.1 km

After a few weeks in the outback, we are back on the coast at Hervey Bay. We were here in early June but is was much quieter then before the southern tourists descended on this nice area.
We need somewhere to settle for a while until the end of the month. I have volunteered to help out for 3 days at the Caboolture 48 hour run. I believe Martin Fryer has a plan to break a World Record for his age group, so I would like to see the champ in action. Mostly I just see the back of him as he whizzes by.
The track is 500 metres around, packed dirt with a slight rise and fall. I like it as a venue, hopefully the events will attract good fields over all the events during the 2 days of running.
Today, a very nice day here, enabling a run bare feet along the beach, tide out. Very few on the beach, even less in the water, so I felt like a real southern tourist going for a swim after running.
While the time for the distance is Ok, that would be my limit at that pace at present, so unfit. Consistency is now the key to getting back to training and racing shape for a return in Canberra at the end of August.
