Event: Peterdine
 

At Richards Bay, South Africa. Checked out the waterside cafes and restaurants then the opposite way to where people seemd to be. Some fishing, some parked up with load music and beers, some looking at the view. The area is trying to be Darling Harbour / South Bank but does not quite make it, a few nice looking restaurants for later in the week. Will only be a short run out to where the fishing is happening, looks to be the best optionfor a run but not very far so might have to be two laps.

Went to Marginata and ran the H3 course set for next weekend, missed the 1st control as I ended up at #2 and could not be bothered to go back for it. Spent some time searching for tapes at a couple of others and also overshot 9 and arrived at #10 again did not go back for it.

Lovely in the forest all alone except for the quiet hum of trail bikes somewhere in the area, but none too close. Lots of nice flowers including Emerald and Donkey Orchids. Those that are around next weekend should enjoy the area and well used by the setters

Stiff back so took it slow and steady around the river to Swanbourne

Spent 1 hour getting the Garmin to talk to new Windows 7 Work computer, ever heard of the Million Monkeys and a keyboard!!

Short run in Kings Park

Out to ChCh School and back to Nedlands for a coffee - cold start but nice once the sun got up

KP long loop. Running down to the uni with Simon Windsor - occasional orienteer who is looking to do more. Was struggling a little to keep up and fortunately Simmo was in the mood to run a bit faster and Simon took off with Simmo and I struggled on alone. Legs felt heavy and time was 30 sec slower than 2 weeks ago
