Tipperary Springs. I had a wonky tummy all yesterday and right up to midnight - then it mysteriously got better, so l was OK to run today. I can only think the Beechworth bakery may be to blame, as l visited there prior to yesterday's event.
After a stressful morning on registration, where l couldn't remember anyone's name and got freezing cold, l headed off, only to find my knee was sore. The course was steep and had lots of trip hazards and l didn't want to fall, so walked almost all of it, but still managed a trip after catching my foot in some bark, and hurting my knee further. I took a bad route choice on the longest leg but was otherwise clean.
I am still puzzled as to why BKV / OVic insist on running events in Daylesford in the colder months, and in the north east in the summer months, rather than the other way around.

Victorian middle distance championships. I wasn't terribly accurate with any of the navigation, and then got a wonky tummy half way around, but managed to make it to the finish without disaster. It was a good course and great to be Inside The Fence. Thanks Bendigo.

An elderly Benalla neighbour lent me her new dog to take for a run. I've never run with a dog before and enjoyed every minute of it. The dog took off at a great pace, and l could hardly keep up, then faded in the second half. She soon learnt she couldn't stop to sniff every tree and settled into a steady pace. We had 3 wee stops (her, not me). Loved it.
Could start a new business - dog running services!

Run around Benalla lake and gardens.
