MTB 30:00 [3] 9.0 km (3:20 / km)

Over pass the Aths track then OTH and home down the walking track and SG creek, most enjoyable

One of the problems with living where I do in SG is that I have DH on my doorstep. One then seems to forget where else there is to train, and OTH use to be that for many years before I shifted here. Will have to go back to OTH more often

4 by 1500 relay champs. This rotation policy that we have doesn't work, ever since I was put out of the team a few weeks ago, I haven't got back in, and I missed out again tonight.

Ran with Keely and Richard in a unofficial team. Was a good race with Bryan on 1st, 4.24, then Luke 4.48, then Me 4.53 and Richard 4.17. I ran 3rd leg and changed side by side with the official Vet team, but couldn't hold the Cowell, and lost a few second. Still a better time than Saturday. Johnny ran very well for a 4.37

Dave was in Bendigo with his bike, and even though the weather wasn't conducive to riding, if we didn't go, we wouldn't go
