Event: Victorian State League #5 & Badge Event
 

A solid run, felt a bit weak at the start but started to get into it well later on, and quite strong on the big climbs later on. Missed 1 a little (although not as badly as Bruce and Liggo, who both found a wrong control - Bruce realised, Liggo didn't). Reasonable area although rather overmapped, and our course was better than the shorter ones. Second week in a row I've inherited a win through a mispunch by someone else.

Started slowly but gradually built into it, starting to handle the hills better by the time they started to come in significant numbers, coming back through Eaglemont.

Promising start but faded away later. A bit of a novelty to see Melbourne cars with ice on them (didn't see anyone making a hash of clearing it, though).

Gradually easing back into the faster stuff. Pretty slow (9.33 fastest loop) but better than nothing. Started in the dark to get back by 7.30 in case the builder due at 8 arrived early. He made it at 9.20...

A reasonable lunchtime run with not too many traffic interruptions, although still a bit weak on the Anderson Street hill.

Starting to pick up, flowing quite nicely for a lot of it, although still a bit weak on the hills (not that there were too many of them today).

A casually slow run even by Monday night standards, although we got a fair workout beforehand moving all my furniture upstairs or into the garage (my floor is being redone on Wednesday so naturally I hosted the Monday night run with a view to getting some assistance). Took the group around the Warringal Cemetery in tribute to the man from the Gold Coast who's been ringing me at work a couple of times a day insistent that the world is going to end tomorrow (6/6/6) and that the Bureau of Meteorology has a responsibility to warn people about it. The run itself - nothing special, still affected by cold, although at least my ears finally popped 24 hours after failing to do so on the descending flight last night (one of the hazards of travelling with a cold).
