Event: Evedon Ridge near Bunbury - Standard
 

H3 course at Evedon, near Bunbury. 3rd again to a couple of M21s (Justin Woolford and Wally). 2 min mistake at No. 1, but the rest were ok. Lot of walking with 5.4% climb. Actual distance 6.5km. Very cold SW wind. Shoes were ok, even though I forgot to take my orienteering orthotics and had to use the normal running shoe ones, which are a lot thicker. Didn't appear to be much room for my toes at first, but no blisters or bloody toenails thank goodness.

Good weekend's work - 26kms in 3 days.

Event: SWOT 8 - Novelty (they are aren't they?) near Bunbury
 

Street Score event in Bunbury, 20 controls in 75 minutes the target. Knew it must be possible, so went for it. Couple of largish hills, with a tower to climb on one of them. 3rd behind 2 M21s (tRicky & Wally).

Bridges & Sth Heirisson. Struggled into biting cold SW for the first half, feeling heavy after a late lunch (Roy Hiller's funeral today). For once I was early enough for there to still be daylight on the Island. Saw a couple of roos under some trees on the leeward side - the rest must have been sheltering from the wind nearby.

Usual Kings Park run, very humid conditions just after a shower, and felt like I was working hard, but the time indicates it must have been a bit easier than usual.
