Long hard course at Lok Cabay. Wow, being there brought back memories, especially as the course setter (Lachlan) had fully recycled a selection of control sites to build today's courses. The locals seemed to do much better this time, both Phil G and Dan B finished, as opposed to finding not a single control last time. The courses began much easier this time too, not hitting the flat, vague stuff until the leg 4-5, instead of straight up. Would have liked to sit around and postmortemise but had to run off to Batchelor for work market stall.

C • Lok Cabay 1

With Juli. A big turnout with lots of kids and new faces. The organisers had received some funding via TIO to celebrate Territory Day, and had used it to hire a bouncy castle, have bacon and eggs and iced cupcakes. This all meant the start was moved down to near the loo, and the course seemed a fraction shorter than usual because of not doing the bit across the grass at the start. Legs still tired, felt like Juli was going quick!

C • Territory Day celebrations 2

From Coomalie Church camp, took a group on a map walk in the nearby bush on the slope. Had E in the backpack so kept my group out of the steepest stuff as rocky and slippery. We were supposed to be recognising contours but I added in distance estimation as that seemed more relevant to tomorrow as it's very flat around the stromatolites with not much shape to help.

At track. Lee's last coaching before moving to Qld so went to say bye. Ran continuous 200 relay with Bin, each did 10 x 1/2 lap, with jog/walk across grass to meet on the opposite side of the oval. Legs still tired from last Sun!

Brief warm up.

Cool Spot walk with Em, had Eleanor in back pack.

To Gardens, home via Vinnies & Armidale St to wash the linen.

To Parap, to house to hang wash, to pool but no one there, so kept walking around as E asleep, dropped off foam roller at Amanda's, back to house to hang another load.

To/from work.

Eleanor sick so home from child care/work. Met other mums for lunch in town, then walked home so E could sleep in the pram.

Fieldwork Batchelor.

About half of the way to work and about 3/4 of the way home. Legs quite sore so would have chickened out and caught bus home from supermarket but couldn't confirm that Lachlan had collected E from child care as wasn't answering his phone so ran to get there by 5.30.

The un-run bits.
