Ride over to Dad's with Binnsey using the tow rope again. Breeze was ESE so bit of a headwind going, but crosswind coming back.

Event: NavDash 4 - Minim Cove
 

Morning ride with Binnsey (she was free because CRT had a cyclo sportif event). Through N Perth & Leederville, around Herdsman and up past Hale School, to the coast then through City Beach, Claremont, Dalkeith, Nedlands, along the River, then up Beaufort St and home. Very strong Easterly headwind along the River. Saw Dangerman looking lost on Rochdale Rd, suspect he'd got dropped by the ERC group and had taken a shortcut to meet them on WC Highway. Later the group came past us in Nedlands, didn't see Dangerman but he was probably with them.

Nav Dash race at Minim Cove. Time and distance does not include no. 17 which I ran straight past. After finishing, I jogged back and punched 17, 18 and the finish again to register a 5 minutes slower time, and 10-12 places down. Aside from 17, I lost 2.5 minutes at 4, half a minute each at 10 & 14, and several seconds at 3 and 6. All these controls were on thickets, and the flat markers were hard to spot, probably should have started at a busier time so more people were around. Still ahead of Binnsey in the overall series points though.

Men's - Splits

Bridges and South part of Heirisson Island, left the North out as achilles and itb a little niggly. SW breeze, but not too strong today. Saw some of the kangaroos, posing warily for a couple of Japanese tourists.

Kings Park Tuesday lap, put in some effort on hills in the second half. Fastest time since May last year, quite encouraging just before Easter.
