Event: 2017 Australian 3 Days
 

Aus 3 days, Connorton, middle distance, complex granite with some less granity bits.
2nd, about a minute behind Tony Woolford

Late decision to come, head not really in this at #1 and was just lazy reading map and consequently lost 2minutes+.
#2 was the long leg, I went left - think this may be the better route, but I lost confidence near the end, never seeing catching track. Happily my rough O was spot on and I hit the lead in spur. V happy to see the row of 4 enormous boulders.

Fairly clean round the loop 3-7, catching Freemo. Then too low for 8 (thanks fence), almost hit 11 before 10, god run with Freemo on longish leg to 12 where we caught turbo. Too many legs and not enough brains, we missed 14 & 17 a little.

I love this kind of country. Knee was OK, longer race tomorrow will be the test.

Day1 Course 6 - Splits

rtw then ride from Mascot to Banksmeadow to pick up camper. Only 1 sprinkle.

Test run, see if we go down to Wagga.
No pain, some odd feeling, but had just shaved and strapped leg.

Thunderbirds are go *


*Subject to availability of travel, accomodation and EOD for the VE course

TFW the short way.
Knee felt a bit odd on the outbound, which is odd because its pretty much a freewheel. On the way home it was fine.
Its so long since I've commuted regularly I've forgotten the golden rule of those paint-on bike lanes and rode down the one on Burns Bay Road, but managed an expletive accompanied swerve to avoid a door collision.

Fitness test tomorrow, on plan (E) for the 3 days if I go OK.

Two good things - found a rogaine outside Barcelona that I can do in December at the end of my work trip and my little sister volunteered to come and be my partner in it. She is awesome (I can say that here because she doesn't read it). Also most of what she says about me is still lies, but I may have eaten some of her easter egg once.

Mapping and a map walk with Milo.
We found that the route up from the boundary track through the rock to the mini bike track is pretty good, so I started to work my way back along that slope from the creek waterfall (finally getting that bit reasonable).

Some problems moving the files between devices, I need a better way of doing this when I have no PC.
