Award-winning pie shop in Kyneton for breakfast. Parked about 1.2km from the arena. Saved a long walk down a gravel road by jumping on my road bike (planning a long ride on the rest day). Long meandering 1.3km walk to the start. Visibility was mostly good on course. Legs were short which reduced risk of being way off course.
#1 - Followed WC. #2 - Compass, but drifted R too close to road (lost 2'). #3 - Track then compass. #4-5 - Straight. #6 - Drifted R again but CP obvious. #7 - Never on right bearing, had to come back from creek (+3'). #8 - Track across creek then straight uphill. #9 - Straight. #10-11-F - Main tracks. Total est time lost: 5'.
Best legs: #2,4-6,8-F (1st/5). Best pos: 1st/5 (#2-6,8-F).

"Lake Daylesford" VIC. M55AS / Course 1: 2.9km, +100m, 24c. 2nd/4 (34" behind Maurice Toes NZ). 10°C. TE 3.5.
Was going to skip this event and watch the AFL grand final. But the Swans were getting smashed by quarter time and things weren't getting much better at the start of the second quarter. Mass start with a convoluted follow-the-leader to the actual start triangle. First 10c and last 7c on steep parkland adjacent to the lake, middle 6c in a primary school, and 2c on the edge of the commercial area. The 2 A/B choice controls didn't require any real decision making. Really just a long sprint.
Best legs: #1,4-7,12-18,20-22,F (1st/4). Best pos: 1st/4 (#1,4-7).

"Smiths Creek", Ruse-Campbelltown. Division 3 Hard: 3.6km, +110m, 15c. 9th/30 (8:46 behind Miles Ellis). 7 pts in match. BNO beats Garingal 34-21. 20°C. TE 3.6.
Slow going today. Tried to pick route choices that followed tracks. Didn't seem to gain or lose much time against other people choosing the bushy route except on #6 (lost 1:24). Only other time loss was on #9 - missed more direct track then didn't far enough from AP at track junction (+2:25).
Best legs: #14 (2nd/30). Best pos: 9th/30 (#5,7,F). Worst pos: 17th/30 (#1).
Into the finals for both BNO Division 3 and 4 teams which I have run for. But I've now discovered the final clashes with QMTBO. We have a good chance of winning both but I've been looking forward to heading up to Qld as well. While MetrO championships are hard to win I think the MTBO weekend is more attractive to me at the moment.
