Long day trip to Renmark with Robin & Adrian & meeting up with the Cuttens to check that control sites and arena layout are all still ok for the Aust sprint. I think people are really going to enjoy Robin's courses. And they'll enjoy being in Renmark*, where I consumed the best bacon-&-egg burger I've ever eaten, at the little coffee shop arrostocoffee.com.au which is in the old fire station on 18th St near the school and will even be open on the public holiday Monday. Also the bakery will give orienteers 10% off :)

*although I'm usually fussy about public toilets, the new ones in the main street are excellent.

C • Plugs 3

After a long day on my feet in the dispensary I needed some fresh air, but hadn't expected this to be quite so fresh - 15 degrees cooler than yesterday evening.

C • Temperature 5

Up the hill to go down the hill, from FMC before meeting parents for dinner at Brighton. Got pretty warm slogging uphill for 15 min with the sun on my back! Sad to notice that access to the university footbridge across the pine forest gorge has now been completely fenced off - and yet there are still security guards sitting in their huts at either end...

Coupla slow painful laps of the pine forest. Prolly not good for my hamstring but how else am I going to get any terrain practice before nationals?

C • Terrain 1

C • Nationals? 1

Up the inside boundary singletrack (broken glass sprinkled everywhere which I can only presume was some nefarious person's attempt to thwart the - perfectly legal - mountain bikers) and back down the valley road with B/S, Z/C. My leg hates me now :(

C • Glass 6

Nice morning for a ride since I had time before heading into the city for a workshop. Breeze was blowing from all directions which may be why the CPM only made one half-hearted pass at me; the conditions weren't right for helmet-surfing.

C • Cute Pesky Magpie? 2

Almost the entire schools' team came out tonight! Happy to get through all the 30-sec intervals on the Nth Adl circuit although didn't go full pelt, in deference to my hamstring which hasn't been 100% happy for a couple of weeks now.

Struggled along the valley because my legs have disenfranchised me post-rogaine and I can go neither up nor down.
