orienteering (Rock Oyster controlling) 2:00:00 [2]
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon
Checking all of Robin's control sites at Rock Oyster for the badge event in 2 weeks' time. Took about 4 hours all up so maybe half of that was running? I tried very hard to run but had to walk up hills, of which there were plenty. Am a bit worried about how stuffed/stiff I am these days. Being able to run freely and without pain in Europe seems like a distant memory. Still, it was a beautiful day to be on my own out there and a nice drive up via Mannum.
I did a very silly thing, though, which proves that I am a complete girl: sat in the car listening to CDs while taping my ankles, mending my O pants, and having lunch, without even thinking about the fact that the car headlights were on, because that would require intelligence. About the time that I wanted to drive home, I worked this out - because the battery was completely flat! Luckily the people in the house at the bottom of the hill were home and kindly came to jumpstart my car. I felt both grateful and foolish. Dropped in on Grandfather for dinner after and borrowed his shower so I could go straight to Paul Kelly concert in the city at 8. It was a great concert but I was pretty tired by then, having left home at 8am and eventually getting home at 11pm.
