MTB 1:15:00 [3] 25.0 km (3:00 / km)
shoes: Nike Bike shoes #1
Decided that I had to HTFU after a hopeless weekend, and as I couldn't find any in a can, had to do it the old fashioned way, "Just do It"
Waited till it got a little colder, wetter and windier, and set of, up DH, then KG to the main channel, then along to Harpers, back to KG, and on to SG home. Was good to get out, even if it did get a little cold at times

Note
No time for training today as I had to do deliveries and go to Warragul as well. All up 750 k's. was driving home from Warragul about 300m behind a 4 wheel drive and trailer, when the wind picked the trailer up and tossed it around.
This threw the car of balance, and next thing it was cart wheeling down the side of the road, after 2 full rotations, it came to rest on its roof. By the time I pulled up and got to the car, the young bloke in the back seat was pushing the door open, and his father was trying to get from the front of the car, to the back, as the other doors didn't work.
Young bloke didn't have a mark on him, and his father had some blood on his head, and had lost a finger nail. I crawled into the car to get his mobile and wallet and stuff, and there was F*** all room in there. Bloody lucky I think.

RUN long 1:15:00 [3] 14.0 km (5:21 / km)
shoes: Nike Terrain
With Bryan, Rooey and Big Ev @ No 7 Res.
Went out along the flat, following the channel, towards Lockwood Sth, before climbing up to the top of the ridge. Headed back towards the Highway, were Rooey and I dropped back to the cars, while the other 2 did extra.
Very enjoyable day out, the sun was up, and the rain from the morning made it that bit more special of a run.
This was a run that I haven't done in 25 years, was good to check it all out again

ORIENTEERING ◪ race 41:15 [5] 6.9 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: INOV-8 Roclite
Had a training day in the morning, so by the time I got to the Local event, Leon had already finished, and was very keen to tell Bryan and I how well he had run. Bryan then went out and bet him by 20 secs, then it was my turn to give it a shot.
Got tired at times, and was running fairly close to the edge. In the end, I had to settle for a time 90 secs behind Leon.
Will have to take it more serious, then I will beat him (-:

Warming up for the 2nd relay in 2 days
ORIENTEERING ◪ race 40:22 [5] 5.9 km (6:51 / km)
shoes: INOV-8 Roclite
Got the call up last night to go into the 1st team, Dave had been sick, so dropped out.
Keely ran a great 1st leg, had Leon and Bruce back about a min, min 1/2.
Ev had compass problems, and thought about going of the map, this allowed MFR (Liggo) to hand over to Ruby 2.30 in front.
Never saw Ruby, would have been interesting if I got all the route choices right, as I may have. In the end I lost a extra 7 secs
MFR 1st, BG 2nd, did we get 3rd as well?

RUN race 22:57 [5] 6.2 km (3:42 / km)
shoes: Nike racing flats
Got the tag in 2nd place, with 1st out by 1.30, so while I didn't want to panic, would be nice to get a sight on him earlier than later. Saw him at 4k, and got pass just before the 1st lap (3.1k) then kept it going for a easy victory, the 1st one that the Vet 40+ team has had in a while.

Event: Bendigo Orientshow
ORIENTEERING ◪ race 17:29 [4] 3.01 km (5:49 / km)
shoes: INOV-8 Roclite
Took a little longer than most to get out of the start, but it paid of, as I get the route choice right. Could hear them all crashing through the scrub as I approached 1, got out of there rather quickly, and never saw anybody.
Did it easy for a win in race 1

ORIENTEERING ◪ race 18:18 [4] *** 2.93 km (6:15 / km)
23c shoes: INOV-8 Roclite
Missed the 1st, then the 2nd, lucky to see Bruce at the 4th, so soon got back in the race, trailed Bruce into the last control, but he overshoot it by a whisker, enough for me to pounce
2nd behind Toph
2nd behind Toph
ORIENTEERING ◪ race 22:17 [5] 3.19 km (6:59 / km)
shoes: INOV-8 Roclite
Got to the 1st pivot well, then loop 1 and 2, Clara sailed pass, and made some smart comment as I was looking for 2nd control on the 3rd loop. Soon left her behind, but could see Laurina ahead, then Birchy caught me, but I was saved as He and Bruce went looking of the map, came into the last pivot with Bruce, couldn't get pass him on the loops, got to the 2nd last, locked together, but a slight miss by him on the last, let me in again.
Toph, Liggo and Laurina had already finished, but for reasons best known to them, they had gone to a wrong control, so MP
Another win to me Results and maps
