Wednesday was to check, measure & note km points for the next monthly handicap at Central Curtin. I forgot to restart my Garmin at one point, so distance is 100 metres short for me, but the race distance length is 6.3 kms. It's the same course for the Thomas series as we used from Cotter Road but going in reverse from a new starting location. The short course is slightly harder than the previous one, a gentle down hill for 500 metres, then flat out and back for 2 kms, then a gentle up hill finish.
The finish is the same for both short course events as well as the longer Thomas series. All events should be good, and fast.
Today I had Artic bus training at 1 pm, so I had to get a short but quality run done before that happened.
The new articulated buses are really nice to drive, all computerized, 9 in total to monitor & control the electronics. Thankfully I don't have to worry much about what is going on in that area. If it stops, I call for the cavalry ( mechanics) to fix & get going.
Capable of carrying over 100 people, worth around $ 900,000, better be careful out on the road.
