| ORIENTEERING 2:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Jukola, it went better than I thought, I was worried that I was not the best choice for the long night, nearly talked myself out of running the leg, but once i got going, everything went well.
Biggest mistake was only 1 min, and that happened because I was running with Peter Ivars, and went to his control,
Bloody great event, will have to get back and do it again one day, but not next year |

Had a good battle with Paul Hayes and Frankie Shevlin, bet Paul but lost to Frank by 3 seconds.
Overall 5th in vets field, paul was 15 secs behind in 8th, great turnout of vets. Only just got infront of Geoff Lawford, well 30 secs, but he is running very well |

| Yesterday while riding, Toph and I meet Charles, who commented, how could we be training at such a nice time of day.
Today, as I was retuning from my reps (3.30) I was going to miss Fogga Bogga Rd area by going along Milton Ave, when who should I bump into but Margaret. Oh well, Busted again |
