2nd Schools Selection Trials, and I was the SI guru, so didn't get out for a run

Collected some controls after

Had to do something after a very slack day, up the back to DH, then to SG Creek and home.

Event: Bendigo Orientshow
 

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

C • Great 6

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

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

Evening cruise out to Monsants Rd to pick up some SI gear for tomorrow, bit annoyed that on the way back, my light gave out, but luckily, I had packed the spare Battery. Best k for the trip was down Symonds St, 1.38, not bad for the MTB.
Tried to crank it up, so that I could do the 24k in 60mins, missed by 10secs

Early afternoon run with Leon, he wanted to check out the track around the Res, as he thinks he has what it takes to set a new record. Back via Houston St, as I had to show this young generation how to set up wireless broadband (-:

Was getting late, went and checked out the track, no one there, and locked up, so of up the Creek I went, threw in 6 surges (worked out to be 220m) in about 45 - 50 secs, then home

Up the back to DH, then down the Creek, checking control sites, then Houston St, and home
