MTB Orienteering race (Vic Champs) 53:28 [5] *** 12.0 km (4:27 / km)
spiked:14/16c
Nerrina. Vic Middle Distance Champs (M50). Swapped the lead with Lee Merchant until I got a puncture leaving no. 13. At that stage I was 14 seconds down. With only around 5-6 minutes left in the race I should have kept going and relied on the sticky goo in my tubeless to get me home but nothing was going to get me the win anyway. I stopped and pumped some air in, but it was still pretty flat the rest of the way. Almost DNFd as we had to pass the Finish on the way to no. 14. I lost almost 5 minutes to Lee on that leg alone and overall finished 6.11 down. Amazingly I still finished 2nd by a further 12 minutes! A lot of people had problems in this complex area.
MTB Orienteering race (Vic Champs) 19:34 [5] *** 5.0 km (3:55 / km)
spiked:9/10c
Nerrina. Vic Sprint Distance Champs (M50). Lack of fitness kicked in this afternoon. Had put a tube in the back tyre, no issues there. Was off the pace from the start. Finished 3rd to Lee and Robert, a full 2 minutes down.

Event: Australian MTBO WOC Trials
MTB Orienteering race (Vic Champs) 1:17:28 [5] 24.0 km (3:14 / km) +265m 3:04 / km
Muckleford Diggings. Vic Long Distance Champs (M50). Lost 3 minutes on a dodgy track to no. 1 - 9th quickest but some of the other contenders lost even more time. Thanks to the 4 minute start interval I managed to hold off James Lithgow and Peter Cusworth who both started quicker than I did. Started to go wide on the better tracks and got into the lead by no. 9. It was still close but held on to win by 25 seconds from Robert Prentice (with me, joint no. 1 ranked M50 for 2007).

Cycling (Floreat) 1:23:30 [3] 42.0 km (1:59 / km)
Marvellous sprint win. Assessed Oscar as the threat, knew he would sprint early on Birdwood Parade like they do on the Wednesday ride, so drew him out with a feint. He really went for it too. Then sat behind him at UWA and went when he went, and just managed to get around him at the end. We were well clear. This on a day when I had to shortcut Rose's hill.
