A big drive, and a fiddle with the program

Ah, holidays!

Our first proper break for a while (I don't count the Melbourne break from last month as a proper break - far too intensive timewise, with little time to relax). Loaded up the bus last night, and hit the road north to Brisbane early this morning.

I decided to do the drive in my Skins, which probably freaked out a few Northern Rivers service station attendants out. I think it was worth it - legs didn't seem quite as battered as they were on the Melbourne drive, and we were in the car for longer this time.

Rolled into Brissy a bit before 3pm local time (none of this Daylight Savings nonsense in Queensland - upsets the cows or somesuch). I decided to have a bit of a doze on arrival and make the decision on what to do running-wise later. Woke a bit before 5, and decided to swap tomorrow's easy half hour for tonight's 4.8km windsprint, and cruised the gravel path alongside the river next to UQ in St Lucia. For the reference of Brisbane people - the surface is nearly identical to that of the 'Tan in Melbourne. Rolled out about 6k in half an hour.

Checked the nice athletics track at UQ and will try to get over there and do my windsprints tomorrow morning, and probably back up with an easy half hour late in the afternoon as penance.
