Control collection - much easier with a map you can read and with lots of the small tracks marked. So easy that l got lazy and used map memory for one control ( from vetting several weeks ago) with then couldn't initially find it!
Anyway the rogaine went well - the scenery was spectacular, the weather glorious, and everyone came back unscathed. One team (Serge and a girl with dreadlocks) cleared the 24 hour course with 20 mins to spare, and everyone else came back with the same story - 'it was beautiful but tough'! There were 400 competitors, with lots of young newcomers, including about 300 people in the 6 hour. Despite this there was mountains of food left over. No serious complaints about the course.
Alls well that ends well, and l'm glad that's over!

Resting my knee today. I thought l would delay my paid work further on such a beautiful day, by doing some gardening.
Is it a problem when you find a spider web in your boots, tip them out and discover a redback nesting therein?

Last minute control checking for this weekend's rogaine
Gorgeous day, gorgeous scenery, but tough hills. My knee is still sore from last Sunday, so l am glad l'm not doing the event. Had to move a couple of controls into the right place (hadn't been to these ones before).

Run around Benalla lake - no gardens, as l was in a hurry to get back in order to travel to Bright.

Regarding the current sewing needle saga - my sewing needle story goes back a few years. I was sewing regularly and also running regularly. My heel was very sore and I was trying to work out why. After some time I found what I thought was a thorn in it. When I pulled it out - to my surprise an entire sewing needle came out - it had been stuck vertically in my heel. It had hurt a bit, but not as much as you would expect!

Run around Benalla lake and garden trails. Gorgeous day, and lots of people out. I struggled because l felt heavy (fat) and satopped short of my intended distance.
