State Series 2 at Mt Beckworth on a warm day. For some bizarre reason I entered W45A but put a time down and started on course 6, which was W45AS. This was lucky as I would never have made the distance on W45A and W45AS was just about the right distance, injuries considered. I travelled slowly through the long grass and fallen timber as I didn't want to aggrevate my knee, in particular I didn't want to fall into a rabbit hole, which was one of the original accidents leading to the sore knee. Walking didn't seem to make much of a difference in this course as it was very steep and, with the warm weather, almost everyone else was walking too. I made 2 errors - both times heading for a short distance towards the wrong control, but luckily I discovering this before I had gone too far. I found sliding down to 8 and then climbing back up pretty tough. Knee is sore now. The event was followed by the annual OY presentations. I enjoyed the day. Thanks Roch.

Street-0 at Bellbird Dell on a damp night. I walked slowly as l was in a bit of pain. The course was set by the Newbury Navigators and they did a great job.

I went to Geoff's scout street-O at Nunawading tonight and plodded around, alternating jogging and walking. A bit if time was spent hunting for controls that weren't quite in the centre of the circle, but overall Geoff had set a good course where route choice counted. lt was particularly nice around the freeway park area.
