Hi All,
It's amazing how our weather can change so completely in such a short space of time. While the rain was very welcome & washed off all the dust, it still came as somewhat of a surprise. How can our dry be over already, when it feels like it just started?
On things sneaking up on you ... I have been trying to ignore the appearance of things Christmassy in the shops as well.
Many of you are really looking forward to this weekend's reverse order triathlon. It's a fantastic format to try and with the reversal of order comes a complete new take on the way people approach the event. Those that usually smash themselves catching up on the run have the opportunity to be leading going out on to the bike .... makes for a very interesting morning. See you there ! News from a reliable source is that the backpackers have disappeared from Lake Alex as well !
