Darcy took me for a 30 minute walk at Road Runners while Deb and Briohny did the 5km run. He still pulls hard when on the leash but once I let him off he was fine and even found a few puddles to get nice and wet before he got back into Briohny's car:-)

Walk on Rocky Hill with Deb after work. Still thinking seriously about mapping it....

Brisk 35 minute walk in Griffith after work. Avoiding any running this week to try and let the leg settle down.

QBIII Middle distance event at Cullen Bullen. Again not an overly difficult course but enjoyable. Pretty fast area away of the steep rocky part of the map. Ran well until 7, my 2nd control on the rocky ledge when I stooped short and had to relocate, losing about 2 minutes. Compounded the error by then heading off to 9! Realised about halfway that I'd missed 8 so had to double back, costing another 3 minutes. Distance is by Garmin.

Very frustrating mistakes today as I had generally orienteered well over the weekend. Not sure of day or final placing as we left before the presentation and results still not up on web.

Pretty good run today although running at reduced intensity to try and protect the leg injury. A relatively straightforward course (in fact last 4 and maybe a couple of others were really only Orange difficulty) but still managed to mess up 5. Ran too far up the hill and, even after relocating off a rocky spur, still stayed too high. Finally worked it out and dropped down but was short of the control. Relocated off a boulder cluster and then was OK. Probably cost me at least 2 minutes, maybe more. Distance is Garmin. Course distance 7km.
