Legs

 Is it just me, or does everyone split their journeys into legs? Rather than consider the whole, I have always split my travel - particularly work travel - into segments. 

Take for instance my journey to Cohuna office at least a few days per week. Leg 1 is Echuca to Torrumbarry Roadhouse. Leg 2 is said roadhouse to Gunbower, and then Leg 3 is from there to Cohuna.

I even attempted in my head to figure out the % split of the journey amongst all three segments. I always knew the first was the longest, and assumed it was about 40%. The second is the shortest, so I assumed about 25%. That left 35% for the last leg. Finally, the other day I measured this, and I wasn't all that far off - Leg 1 actual is 42%, Leg 2 is 23.7% and Leg 3 is 34.2%. Utterly useless information, but this post is about me and one of my silly little habits, so there you go.

The other trip of note that I split into legs each and every time, is from home to our new office at Colinroobie. That is a significantly longer trip, mostly very boring, and it helps to have a sense of completeness as I progress along it. That trip, Leg 1 is Echuca to Mathoura, then onto Deniliquin, then onto Conargo, then Jerilderie, Narrandera, Yanco, Leeton and finally Colinroobie. It's about a 3.5 hour trip, which is not too long, but as I said, boring.

I also kind of do this when I go to Broken Hill, which is the longest trip of them all at 7.5 hours. However I do it infrequently enough that I don't remember the breakdown of legs very well. I tend to just use the main towns, such as Kerang, Swan Hill, Robinvale and Mildura to help me measure my progress. I tend to be a statistically-minded person, so I guess this habit of mine is just in keeping with that.
