there's something in the water

Our lake is pretty. But it isn't well. Is it only a matter of time before it gets fenced off, out of bounds to everyone bar unwise ducks and swans?



Last night we speedygeese joined the Bilbys training session - or at least Suzie, Susan. Neil, Craig, Kym & I did, six of the sixty current geese. The session consisted of a series of 1k intervals with 200m recovery, then a set of 400m intervals with 100m recovery. Less of a speed session, more a pace/tempo session. It was a good having a large number to train with, there are advantages and disadvantages to large groups. I am seriously missing a few of our regulars, though.

The Bilbys are a triathlon group, they might have to travel far a-lake to get clean water to compete in. We are assured that Lake Ginninderra is crystal pure, ha-ha pull the other one.

Maybe less blue-green algae, but maybe other suspicious pollutants.

I will stick to running.
