Heading downhill towards the trail, I realise that I've forgotten my SD card (again)... Once again I'm saved by the fact that the W90 has built in memory good enough for 6 photos! Such a smart design move (for someone as forgetful as me).
I stopped to make sure I got a good photo of this guy, as this run was really defined by them. There were hundreds of them along the trail, continually scattering in front of me like a little black wave
As I was already moving quite slow, I thought I might as well take this unknown side trail, just to see where it would end up. The general uphill direction suggested that it might be a nifty shortcut
The trail closed in a little and headed steeply uphill, mostly restricting me to a walk, but it was shady, giving some respite from the sun... and I still had hopes for a shortcut
Until the trail lead to....
A power pole? Well, that's cool and all, but not exactly what I was hope for...
Just to the right of the pole you can see a smaller quite overgrown trail leading away? Well, I was still hopeful so wandered down that trail (although running was very difficult on something so overgrown)... Just to another power pole...
Dejected I head back down onto the main route, lesson learnt. The run back to UST was hot and long...
Time for a couple of rest days I think, before a long run on the long weekend!
Work Hard, Eat Right, Be a Tiger...
