Note

Golf: Club Champs Rd 3. Started with a triple bogie 7 on the first but then managed 6 pars in remaining 8 on the front to finish with 42. Back was not so good with just 2 pars for 46. 88 off the stick, net 72 so played to 16 handicap.

Cycling 28:00 [3] 5.5 mi (5:05 / mi)

Rode in to work to pick up the car that I am taking away on Monday. Hard work along the spine of Willan's Hill. Too steep in a couple of spots for fitness (up) and MTB skills (down), so whimped it and got off and walked!!

Note

Guess its time to break the news: I am "Movembering" this year!

Now those who know me will say: "wait a minute, you already have a Mo". Well, it was ceremoniously removed on 31st October (much to Deb's dislike!) and I have started all over again! Proof can be found on my donation page (see below) where there is an after-shave photo (stop laughing!!). I will post some more photos as the month continues.

Movember is a lot of fun (there are 5 guys here at work in a team but also in competition with each other!) but it also has a serious side and that is the promotion, support and awareness of Prostate Cancer in particular and men's health in general.

If you would like to sponsor my Mo, there are a couple of options available:

Strength and conditioning 25:00 [3]

Cycling 53:00 [3] 18.3 km (2:54 / km)

A very hot afternoon for a ride (~38C) but had to get out and do a bit. A longer loop, just an extension of the usual Lake, Rawlings, Mitchell Rd, Rawlings, Lake route, taking in Sycamore Rd and the McGarva's old haunt in Alder Rd.

Not surprisingly given the conditions, very few people out but a couple of guys were running around the lake and looking decidedly the worst for it!

Orienteering 40:00 [3] *** 4.4 km (9:05 / km) +75m 8:23 / km
shoes: Helly Hansen Trailcutter

Went to Sydney this weekend for a family birthday function, so Deb and I decided to have a run at Belanglo on Sunday on the way home. Found an old M35AS course from 2001 to use.

Considering my recent injury and lack of running, I wasn't going for speed, just concentrating on map reading and navigation, both of which were pretty good considering it was at 1:15000. Short on the 1st one as I dived off the road too soon so as to avoid being run over by a pack of motorbikers and Deb ran past me then. Caught her again at the 2nd and we ran together until 5 where she cut the course short and headed to 9. I also cut it short but went to 8 first, running past a group of Army cadets - it was a bit crowded out there today!

10+ year old map has held up well apart from some thicker green around some gullies and rockfaces, and the new pine that has been planted (and is now 7-8 metres tall) in a couple of compartments in the last 8 years.
