Stromlo Criterium. C grade, 20 laps, lasted a bit longer this time, dropped with 4 laps to go. Quite windy and I think that helped me survive the first half at about 40kmh. Then they eased off and I thought maybe I could get to the end with the bunch. No, another 40kmh lap and then I got cut off on a corner by a tiring guy. Got back on but only lasted half a lap.

Radford College, M1. Okm 3.8 (!), GPS climb 46m. Quite slow and made a couple of small mistakes. Whats surprising is how little difference any of that made - I was 22nd overall and 22nd to no.1. After the error at 4 I was in 26th place and basically stayed there all the way just passing a couple of people who self-destructed. Mistakes: #4 - (-30 seconds) orienteered to the centre of the circle and no flag. There were steps there so ran to the bottom and looked up, but didn't see the flag. Back to where I was and a bit further, nothing, back to the base of the steps and up a couple, yep there it was at the top. #15 - (-30 seconds) orienteered to the centre of the circle and no flag. There were steps there - had a look over the side but nothing. Then had a look at the description - a pictorial "under" that I have never seen before. Had I realised it was on the lower level, a route choice across the covered area car park would have been far better. #26 - (-30 seconds). A good leg and I missed both the faster route choices (straightish with no climb, and right).

Decided to avoid the gravelly roadworks on the GDE, but William Hovell and Gininderra Dr have way too much glass, so won't be doing this route anytime soon.

Olympic Bicentennial Park MapRun Long A. Got a bit confused when I punched the first control and the phone said “No. 9 punched”. The next one was coded 2 so went there anyway and was all right after that. As is usual these days took a while to get going. The mossies were out in force today.

Note: at Sydney Track Classic later. Good show from Bol and Deng in the 800 and Michelle Finn (IRL) in the 3000m SC. Finn put a couple of mètres on second place at every jump, which Campbell would then close up straight away - until the last lap. Lots of fouls from the triple jumpers. Also a good 1500m from Linden Hall who slipped back to third with 150 to go, then came good in the last 50. There was an Erbacher in the 3000mSC - found something more rewarding than O?
