The last 10 days have been splendid with sunny dry days. The soil is starting to show small cracks, so people will be complaining soon of lack of water despite the rainiest winter for many years. This is a picture of some rowers on Lake Hood yesterday morning at the end of my 10 km run. The lake has been well used as the Christchurch rowers have been in Ashburton a lot since the earthquake disrupted their usual rowing stretch ( Kerr's Reach ) because of disturbance to the river bed there and uncertainty about sewage contamination of the River Avon.
There was a decent tremor of 5.0 last night which was quite reminiscent of the big quake last month. Happily it did not last long although a few seconds seems like minutes when it happens.
Today I managed a 30 km run which felt quite challenging although I was pleased that it was my fastest long run ( >26km) with the exception of the Abel Tasman Coastal Classic, in the past 3 months. Overall 50 km since Sunday. Tomorrow will be cross training on the bike.
Ka kite.
