Day off work - head out for a ride in the afternoon only to find a strong headwind as I go south and unpleasant riding conditions made worse by a climb to the top of Karrinyup. After completing an errand at the O shed I head south but soon changed my mind and shortened the trip due to the constant but light showers and the promise of more lining up to the south

Event: (LDC) Lover's Lane
 

Lovers Lane

All set for the event Sunday except for a control common with the MDC which Juffy and his team collected and had to be replaced first thing in the morning.

Unfortunately the pre start positioned to capture the view also captured the full front of the southwesterly gale with acompanying rain. While we need the rain without it would have made it a better event. The cold winds made for a few mistakes and forgetfullness which hopefully was ironed out by the challenging courses.

Very pleased to see the earnest discussion after the event about route choices and even more pleased to see the variety of choices on some legs on Route gadget. The objective to have people finding it difficult to decide the best route was acheived. I must admit to not being sure myself of the optimum route on some legs. I hope everyone was challenged and enjoyed the orienteering on such a good map.

C • Common control 3

Grand Final against an old rival. Same as last week 2-0 down at half time. Turn around in the second half to end up 2-2 all after extra time. Decided on penalty flicks with our guys holding their nerve and beating the goalie.

No time to celebrate to much to do the next day

Placement of controls for the Lovers Lane long distance champs. Look forward to a beatiful patch of everlastings on courses 1-5 followed by a slope which contains an incredible array of orchids on the same courses

Felt very sluggish and tight in the chest from multiple stress points culminating this week including prep for a company board meeting, annual company reporting, audit, preparation for Lovers Lane LDC on Sunday, hockey grand final Saturday and prep for a business trip leaving Sunday night? (delayed because of LDC). The time said I was far from sluggish and I was moving along quite well with occassional help from a tail.
