The second day was up Mt Feathertop from Harrietville. A well graded track up to and along Bungalow spur. I couldn't sustain much running - but was working to my maximum capacity and hit the wall near the new Federation hut at the saddle. After taking on a bit of food felt a lot better and was able to push to the top. The summit was soooo beautiful - a clear day and we could see so far - what great views! Disappointed with my slow time - must get my anaemia under control.

The walk/jog down was pretty social, meeting and chatting with others. Passed a couple of snakes on the track.

Event: Bright Alpine Four Peaks Climb
 

The first climb of the weekend at the Bright Alpine Climb event. This was a run up Mystic Mountain, above Wandilligong. Very steep, intense climb.

Jogged down from Mystic Mountain, just as steep as the uphill.

Local Bendigo twilight event. Went out for 2 hours of the 3 hour score event. Took it easy because of the big weekend expected. Navigation was fine until it was fully dark, then I lost it - as usual.
The evening was finished with a social meal under a near full moon on a still clear night in good company.

First street O event for the summer series. When we set out I thought I'd probably walk some of it - wasn't feeling like going hard. Just ran steadily throughout - not fast, but not too slack, and even managed to run the hills. Had trouble finding one control, so didn't waste too much time on it. Finished with just over 4 mins to spare, so probably had time to find that control that tricked me.
