Sprint champs around a park, school and other facilities (including a cinema) in Mt Barker. I entered the longest course that M21A's were doing as a non-championship course, not being sure if I'd be able to run anyway. In the end I jogged around the whole course and didn't really have any mistakes, because I wasn't moving that fast.

As it turns out, I wouldn't have been last even if I'd entered M21A... That might be because I didn't check the control number at 4, because it was obviously my control and I knew I was in the right place. It turns out this had the wrong control number and lots of people got tripped up. Then, coming into 15, the other control with the wrong number on it, I saw Simon running out of it who told me it had the wrong number. I told Aiden that was running into it as I was exiting. I thought the course was really fun and well set - it's a shame that a couple of switched control numbers ruined the race for so many people.

Course Course 1 - Splits

First ever yoga class. It was really interesting, and apart from terrible cramps in the back of both my legs (that were already starting before the yoga) I felt really good afterwards.

Walk around Hawthorndene and Blackwood. Longer and more hilly than I'd intended, but it was a beautiful afternoon for it.

Went for a jog over to Belair to meet the usual suspects. I thought I would walk over and go for a walk, but I decided to test-jog and made it all the way, so I just kept going. Jogged with Biddy (thanks mate!) up the creek to the echo tunnel track where everyone else had kept going to check on the location of some rocks up by the waterfalls for an upcoming O event. I turned right and left Biddy to catch back up to the others, slowing down a bit more to jog past Old Government House, through the adventure playground which turns into watership down this time of the evening (millions of bunnies), up the adventure loop trail behind the golf course and home. Now I am eating Nutella from a jar. :)

Hilly walk around the block and through the forest. It was humid (for Adelaide). Afterwards some Arrows came around for dinner and I learned about Magical Trevor.
