Yes, two consecutive runs around the Benalla lake! It was a hot night, but not as hot inland as it would have been in Melbourne, and today is to be a scorcher, so I headed out earlier. My knee was a bit sore to begin with but settled about halfway round. The earlier start meant I wasn't as hot today as yesterday at the finish - possibly also I was cooler because I was slower. So slow, that I was passed by a man and his daughter, who looked about 5 years old.

Run around Lake Benalla in the heat. And PHEW, was it hot! I felt much as I did after the Duo last Sunday at the finish, and then drank 5 glasses of chilled water. Followed this with a trip to the Violet Town market, with thousands of other people. This market is getting more popular each month and is full of quaint and alternative wares. I was tempted to buy some hippy clothes to chill out but bought homemade spring roles instead.

No excuses tonight as Street O started about 200m from my house. l just walked as knee is still tender - but l am OK with that, as l am just glad to be doing something . There was a huge crowd as school orienteering has started and because tonight was a qualifier for the street O championships. They were about 20 maps short. More or less the usual walk around Blackburn.

Walk around Blackburn. Knee is a bit tender after Sunday. It wasn't helped by tripping in a hole after the event finished.
I learnt something today - two small red chillis in my lunchtime salad are at least one too many! FIRE!
