Event at Mt Alexander in the rain. The course was 4.4km in length but the terrain was very steep and slippery. Had one fall gashing my arm, but a couple of near slips which strained my lower back. My navigation was very rusty and I passed the first control and when looking for the 3rd control found control #5, so had to backtrack. That leg took me over 24mins. I was very slow, unable to run on the steep terrain. Tough, cold, soaking, but it felt good to finish (many people did not finish).

Heavy weights session this evening. It was pretty tough....

Took the 6am session this morning; it was a paired circuit session, and as there were 5 members there, I had to make up the 3rd pair. We had a mats and wall sit station, a skipping station and a standing cardio station on the grass. Five times around all those activities took about 45 mins, switch the warm up jog and stretches, the timing worked well.

Went walking on Mt Alexander today, from the stile on McQuillans Road to the top and back. It rained for the duration so we didn’t stop long at the top or we’d have got cold....
