rode with muzza and matty from my place through kangaroo flat and kangaroo gully where mattys tyre went bang and his day ended. murray and i continued through sutton grange and over mount alexander, on which murray dropped me easily.. smashed it down through faraday to castlemaine to meet up with muzzas olds. awesome ride.... HORSE!

busy all day with schools champs.. they went well and weather was awesome.. kids seemed to enjoy it..thanks to matt, muzz and patty, they worked like dogs for me over the last few days and made the schools champs run seemlessly

Event: Australian Secondary Schools Championships
 

Event: Australian Schools Orienteering Championships
 

schools champs challenge.. junior girls course
matt, murray, pat S and I had to pre run the schools individual courses.. so we set ourselves a challenge.. matt had to beat the senior boys by 6 mins, muzz had to beat the senior girls by 10 mins, pat had to beat the junior boys by 6 mins and i had to beat the junior girls by 15... the two who were the furthest from the target times had to buy beers for the others.. none of us beat our target times and pat didnt even beat the junior boys (this resulted in a penalty round of beers for him... admittedly his task was the hardest and the junior boys ran some astonishing times)... matt had to buy the other round as his margin over the senior boys was next smallest.. good challenge although we badly underestimated the quality of the schools athletes.

putting out schools controls

took muzz and matty for a lap of bendigo including one tree hill, diamond hill and guys hill... i cracked on the way home after a llong day of putting out controls

Event: Victorian Long Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

vic long champs.. had a good run.. lost about 1-1.5 minute on 5, 7 and 16 apart from that it was perfect... thought it would be a top 5 run but the field was stronger than i expected

Event: Australian Middle Champs (SILVA NOL)
 

terrible race... stuffed nearly everyone of the first 5 controls... finished off poorly and ran into a barbed wire fence at full pelt which resulted in a tetanus shot and fucked pair of o pants.. ended up mispunching the control after the fence incident.. great course though
