Summer Series end-of-season novelty event at Maroondah Triangle - this year matching the name of the street sign at the control with one of 20 clues on the map. I twigged a bit too late that this meant that you could leave out a control (as long as you were confident you'd got the other 19 right, thus getting the 20th answer by process of elimination). If you chose your route carefully, you could also "get" a control from the other end of the street (as I did at 6 - not sure I can claim a "spike" for a control I didn't go within 200 metres of).

Achilles was playing up a bit tonight so took it easily, on what might (or might not) be the last warm-weather run of the season. Opened up a bit in the last couple of kilometres as it improved a bit, although it was never 100%. Felt quite strong apart from the Achilles (as with yesterday), particularly on the climb into 3, which is reasonably promising.

Good to see Mike Hubbert there after he departed Sunday afternoon's event in the back of an ambulance.

For some reason I've found myself on the mailing list for Australian Sex Party media releases, and was rather amused today to get one where the first few words visible were "Sex Party Calls For Stripping". You'd expect the Australian Sex Party to be in favour of stripping, but in fact the words to complete the sentence were "the Australian Christian Lobby of charitable status". (For those of you from elsewhere who are wondering about the Australian Sex Party, their 2013 election campaign commercial (language warning) may give you an idea).
