6 hours out at Connorton updating map.

Left knee very sore today. Must have jarred it somehow yesterday, or is could have been the running on bitumen and concrete in Sydney. A few days rest ahead.

Morning run from hotel in Sydney. Down to the harbour and Botanic Gardens. The path around the Opera House has re-opened even though there is still construction work so did a full loop around it. Another nice morning and sunrise over the harbour. Unusual sight for the day: about 60-70 construction workers in their fluoro orange and yellow vests all doing static stretches and warm-ups before starting work!

Didn't feel like running this arvo after a reasonably hard weekend and, as I hadn't been on the bike for ages, decided to do a short ride out and around the Lake and back. Pretty chilly, especially my feet!

Event: 2014 State League #11 - Belanglo SF
 

Belanglo SF for SL 11. Long format today with lots of green, some quite thick. Overall a poorer effort despite not making such a monumental error as yesterday. Slow and a liitle wide on 1 (+1 min) good 2 through 5, uncertain on track for 6 but ended up where I wanted to be for route east of big rock outcrop (+1) , no real plan on 7 and ended up very wide and was lucky to relocate off a track (+2). 8 was OK but should have gone right out of 7 and then up along the rockface where veg was more friendly (+1). 9 took the wrong track and had to double back then overshot the gap in the rock line and went down when the control was near the top (+2). 10 was good but then managed to lose my SI stick when a branch flicked my hand. Realised straight away and was able to find it on the ground but lost another minute for a total of about 8 minutes!
