I had to get up at 5:30am to have time for running due to an early flight at 9am. I just got in a quick eight kilometres which was about all my legs could handle, that meant I could retire my shoes at 750 kilometres.
The trade off with getting home earlier in the day, with a quicker bus trip to the airport, is the very early wake up. The flight was roughly on time with no other issues, and the Melbourne trains were even running on a limited express schedule rather than stopping all stations, which takes forever. I still didn't get home until about 1pm, so close to 6 hours of total travel time again.
That was it for the third consecutive Gold Coast trip. Another good event overall, just slightly disappointed with the result and the lead up. If I register again for next year I might consider travelling on the Thursday afternoon instead and returning on the Sunday. Given a recent bad experience with my preferred choice of airline I might have to switch to one of the other equally bad options next time.
