"Weekly Virtual 5K" 21st August

[Bontobpat]

Hi, Managed to get 5km in this morning when I include my warm up and cool down walks, though they were only about 3 minutes each. My run part was still only 4.35km in 31:22. What a beautiful sunrise this morning. My husband took some photos while I was doing the run. The statue in the water is called The Siren, it has a sensor detecting the heat at the reef off shore, due to the concerns about global warming causing bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef. Saw some dolphins taking an early morning swim across the bay and a stingray which did a big flip out of the water when we were sitting having our coffee after the run. So worth the effort to get up early on a Saturday.

Good run for you and a lovely photo of the sun rising, just as well no one was in the water because of the stingray.

Oh there were, but not too close, and mostly on SUP’s, canoes and outriggers. Not too many swimming.

Well done for your run! Definitely worth getting up for the scene you described and the stunning photo your husband took.

I was interested enough to read up about The Siren.

What a beautiful picture - and a stingray and dolphins sounds gorgeous too. And a good run too.
