Tested the achilles problems with a slightly longer run. Returned through the subdivisions again. The signs selling new blocks show smiling couples with young children. Helps one feel old!

Back to the exercises after a slack week. Really have to become more dedicated.

Took the bike out to check control sites and map changes for next weekend... the 1hr twilight event. Quite a few new tracks. I think the course will be a challenge for the elite pack in two way. For a start, its 13k for all controls. That should be a reasonable challenge. Second, I am thinking of having a few bonus controls... about 5 scattered around the start location. First to each control will get double points or similar. Assuming a pack like last weekends twilight, that should provide a conumdrum for those relying on pack navigation.

Map updated. Course designed. Points allocated. Even the elite types will be out in the dark. And with the bonus points for the five closest controls, They will take different routes out, so won't be able to get in a train on the run back in in the dark. I feel happy with the course. Be there Jymbo, Toph etc

Desultory run checking out the new subdivisions in Maiden Gully. The news is good and bad. Patches of bushland within the town are disappearing, but the Myers Creek track will be extended. Most bemused to see subdivision pegs laid out along a stretch of land near the creek that went under water late last year. A couple of existing homes were flooded, but more are going in. Developers using VCAT to intimidate council?

Can't remember where I did this run, but its on the Garmin, so I must have done it., Must have been exciting.

Rode home from work via Bendigo. Met Jools at the bike shop. She had her brand new Cannondale. I went close to max HR trying to keep up on the way home. Not a fair contest!
