Me an' the orange walking frame had a major expedition in the Vic Long Champs at Stanley. Tough course. Leigh had thoughtfully built lots of lumpy bumpy (un-rideable) tracks in pines and then set controls on them . I didn't want another accident so walked a lot of it. Still managed to come back with blood - from my pedals which acted like a grater every time they hit my shins. Finished this time. That's a plus.

Vic Champs at Indigo Winery Beechworth. Course was too long and hilly for a W50 middle distance and had fences you were not allowed to cross marked really faintly. l was a DNF again.

Run around Blackburn lake and creeklands before heading north for MTBO. It's amazing what a good nights sleep and some sun does for your running.
BTW, l collected my bike from Carolyn's house in the Dandenongs last night. There's a reason she is about 100 times fitter than me.

Short run around Blackburn. Various achy bits (PF and knees) but kept going. Better than nothing, especially after a night out.
The good news is that my bike is fixed and ready for the weekend. I'm glad my three bike technicians (Angus, Carolyn and Bill) are all accompanying me to this weekend's event:)

Run in the dark/dawn around the streets of Blackburn. Trying to get going again. Knee is almost healed.
