Vic long distance championships at One Tree Hill. Pretty much a track run, especially as l picked the road option to No 1. Loitered a bit much on the last 3 controls and Margie, who started 2 mins later, caught me and beat me by about that much. Lost my compass somehow in the post event proceedings. Distance is a guess as my garmin went flat. Think l need a new one.

AWOC club duo at Chiltern. Just did the first bike ride before calling it a day. Both bike gears and body weren't working (probably as a result of yesterday's spill). It was a lovely sunny day regardless and l enjoyed the Chiltern bakery.

MTBO SS1 at Eldorado. Pretty wet and boggy. Went over the handlebars when wheel got stuck in a rabbit burrow on a rough track made especially for the occasion, narrowly missing a large prickly pear. I now have a sore shoulder and large bruise on my leg. Tried to overtake some 4 WDs that were out mud running, but had to turn off before l go the chance.

Street O at Bulleen Ups and Downs. There seemed to be more ups than downs. I picked the worst possible route and was resoundly thrashed.

Run around Blackburn. Ran into a colleague - literally, at a corner. Would like to have gone further but knees weren't into it. I might have to take a leaf out of Louise's book and do short distances more often

C • it works 7

Street O at Hays Paddock. I didn't really feel like running until half way when l felt a bit better. Big weekend of gardening and cleaning otherwise.

Street O at Blind Creek. I shuffled in the dark, trying to avoid tripping up.
I had a near miss today, detecting $3k of unauthorized expenditure on my credit card through two purchases in China and Singapore. Luckily the bank was able to reverse them and cancel my card.

C • Unlucky 5

Another run around Reef Hills. I'm feeling sorry l have to go back. The house in Blackburn will be really smelly as l had tbe floor polished over the weekend. I've been renovating the house for over a year and, although there are still things to do, at least l will now be able to cook and sit down.

Run around Reef Hills. For the first time ever there were a nunber of other cars parked there. There are also heaps of people in town. I've been a bit weary lately through not sleeping well but, seem to have caught up a bit this Easter as the weather has been cooler.

C • Me too. 5
