First game of golf on a Saturday for over 12 months. Played pretty well for nett 71 in Monthly Medal. Used elastic support on knee and it was OK.

C • Handicap 2

Feels like a slight ACL injury left knee. I recall hyper-extending left leg running downhill on Day 3 Easter but no effect until after yesterday's run when knee became swollen and sore.

Morning run out to Mitchell Rd (almost!) and return. Cool, clear morning and lots of people out and about. Took it steady and felt pretty good.

Easter 3 Days Day 3: Best run of the weekend. Pushed as hard as I could and made no significant errors. A bit slow up the hills to 10, 11 and 12 as I tired but fast downhill for last few. Failed by 5 seconds to get back the place I dropped on Sunday!

Overall pretty good result for the weekend with only a couple of errors in 3 races, especially as spur/gully is not my favourite terrain. Frustrating that those silly errors cost me potentially up to 3 places!

C • Why don't you like spur/gully?... 2

Easter 3 Days Day 2: a good fast and clean run through to #4. A bit wayward early to 5 and then stopped short, losing almost 2 minutes on this leg. Bad nav error on 6 as lost concentration when Chris Norwood caught me (due to my errors on 5). Stopped and was able to relocate fairly quickly but again lost about 2 minutes. Went straight on 7 which proved a bit quicker than left route option. Thought location of 8 was a bit dodgy: rocky spur in clear (yellow) according to description and circle but control was in under the trees! Stupid error on 9 cost another minute, so overall a poor run and lucky to drop just 1 place.
