Helped out on Rego Desk - fat and furious until 6 when i went out. Very wondy but didn't really notice it on the run.
3 points late again. Picked a reasonable route just not fast enough. Had trouble with 1 control which did cost me some time - maybe 1:30 as it was on 2nd gate, unclear description and gate was open disguising clue. But persisted and got it in the end.
Enjoyable time - as always. Still wonder at relative "stupidity' of some people.

C • Relative stupidity? 5

I think my arms are going to be jelly later today and unusable tomorrow so best I do some more digging today.

Not as difficult to dig as last week as it had rained recently but this just compounded the arms and shoulders gym work. Front square now a total mess - ready for planting in about 2 weeks.

This was not promising at all. Yes starting up Blackbutt hills as a warm up is pretty stupid but not much else to do here. seemed even worse than usual.

Decided against Callaghan today as it is Campus Scamper and while i enjoy seeing lots of young people struggling with daylight at 8am on a Saturday it still wasn't enough to get me to go there today. Opted for Blackbutt instead.
Crowd kept on building and building which was good. Nice atmosphere. Course varied due to a lot of construction happening and park beautification.
Recognised a woman from newy from ages ago - we used to use each other as benchmarks then.
First part of current course is more direct but I didn't think it was a lot less distance but time from Start to Jaffa's Turnaround was 2:30 better than previous - which i don't think was borne out by my performance. Bit surprised by that. Whereas course used to be a loop it is now a direct out-and-back and still with a glorious downhill finish of about 1.5km. I didn't maximise this either so when i checked watch and saw under 40 mins I knew something wasn't right. But still quite happy to "cope".

Small Schools Sports Workshop at Cassilis PS. Fun day! 6 sessions - scored the Kinders first which was cute. Let them play with the compasses and find NORTH! They were very proud of themselves. Overprepared but happy to do so. We ended up changing activities which was good.
rockman good value - as always!

Field checking map area at Singleton with rockman. Not quite Butterfly Park!
