Oceania Long Champs: new map at Brayshaws Hut. Walked and jogged my course. No major issues until #13 when I went through the wrong saddle. Took me a minute or two to work it out and then relocated. Quite a good area, a mix of granite and open areas but lots of timber and debris on the ground made for slow going (or would if you were running!). Course was only OK but no long legs and no real option for route choice which was disappointing because the area had some good options.

Walked around Oceania Sprint course. Nice technical course in a really good area. Lots of walkways, garden beds, stairs and passages, and lots of crossovers on the course. No major errors except when Briohny (who walked around with me) led me in the wrong direction on #6!

Quick (as in short, not fast!) cycle around Lake Albert after work. Pretty windy this arvo but still lots of people out walking themselves and their dogs and generally blocking the track! Bloody inconsiderate, what do they think they are doing? Exercising or something! Why aren't they at home sitting on the couch eating fried food.....

Oceania Middle Distance at Honeysuckle Creek (new map extension). I walked around the course and really enjoyed it - had to keep tellling myself not to run. Hit all but one control,so navigation was good, as it should be when only walking. Still managed to beat a few home (16th out of 23).

Might attempt the Oceania long next Saturday (walking again) depending on the terrain and weather. Will either have to wear my O shoes or put some bandages on, as I good blisters on both heels from my running shoes, which is odd as I have had them ages and not had a problem before.

ACT Long Champs: walked to the start and back with Deb and then the same with Briohny. Then walked up for my start, collected my map and walked across to the Finish. Add in 2 trips back to the car, and all up I reckon I walked about 3km, a good warm up for tomorrow's Middle Distance!
