Orienteering 1:21:59 [3] 6.49 km (12:38 / km)
Victorian Long Distance Championships at Mt Kooyoora. Yet another gorgeous day in the sun at a beautiful location - I can't think of any where I would rather have been. I got my money's worth today when I headed west instead of north for control 2 and climbed through a lot of rocks unnecessarily before realising what I'd done. Such a silly mistake! I was then really slow getting to 3 (being careful on the long steep downhill to avoid knee issues). After that it was all good, but too late. I got another mug for 3rd but didn't deserve it. Thanks Neil, Jim and Bendigo for a great weekend.
I also think I am starting to come good knee wise, but need to lose a bit of weight:(

Orienteering 1:02:15 [3] 4.24 km (14:41 / km)
Victorian Middle Distance championships at Mt Kooyoora. It was a gorgeous day and great to be out in the bush and to see lots of friends.
I was careful and slow but still messed up a few controls, mainly due to distractions (people running past me and me feeling as though I needed to speed up - whereupon I promptly lost contact with the map). Janine started 10 minutes after me and caught me after about 5 controls. We were then neck and neck for about the next 6 controls, although taking different routes, but I lost her on the last four controls. She beat me by 4 minutes, which was OK and I came second in W50 - and I have a new coffee mug for my efforts!

Note
Feeling a bit seized up and cramped in the legs. Hope I'll be right for the weekend. Too much sitting at work and moving boxes for renovations. Work is converting me to a fixed term appointment for 12 months, which is good except that I am due for a really long break, which now isn't going to happen.

Walk 1:08:00 [3] 7.0 km (9:43 / km)
Walk around Blackburn. I have been rather lazy about filling in my log over the past few weeks. The house in Blackburn is being renovated and I am in a state of disarray. It turns out the whole front of my house has roof trusses and can be easily converted into a large open plan area - that is now happening - but I am still looking at the tiles and ground (from inside the living room) and have no kitchen.
