Orienteering 1:50:00 [3] 9.44 km (11:39 / km)
(injured)
I took the long drive and back to the SS event near Newstead, accompanied by chaufffeur and lunch chef Peter. We arrived quite late and, still pretentding to be W35 (not very successfully), I did course 4. Had I been a Bendigoian, I would have been a serious contender for the Noodle Award (upload to occur soon, hopefully courtesy of Louise, for the entertainment of all). The achievement of the day was to complete the course, albeit at a jog, but with some serious errors. The knee held out for the distance and only had one twinge, when I caught it on a stick - so all good.
I took the long route to 1, was completely off target to 2 and then had major 'phoo ba' at 3, heading along the wrong ridge completely - nearly off the map - a good 15+ minute error. The skill was in the relocation and this took a considerable amount of time given the disorientation. I then warmed up to the map and was reasonably OK. I stopped and helped relocate Mr I Baker midway, then took a longer route to 10, the same to 11, OK then to 13, then a 180 degree error on the short leg to 14 and a fairly inefficient route to 15. The rest OK. Not a very good navigational exercise.
I returned to my hamburger cooking nicely on the BBQ (I should invite Peter more often) and the long, long trip home - made somewhat longer by a misnavigation midway and a closed road. Otherwise a beautiful sunny day. I was pleased to be running (jogging) and pleased to be in the bush. Peter thought it was an awfully long way for a run and a BBQ.

Swim 35:00 [2] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
(injured)
I've had a quiet week. It has been very cold and windy and I have opted for the comfortable option - including missing out on Wednesday night when Bruce P kindly brought some fresh jerusalem artichokes from his mother's garden to street-O for me. They consequently went elsewhere and I believe that they are now in Mount Gambier in the form of soup!
I came back to Benalla for the weekend but am planning the long trip over to Newstead for the State Series tomorrow. I missed a good event at Mount Tarrengower today but my knee (which is still dodgy) would not have liked the steepness or the rocks, or 2 days in a row. Tomorrow should be more undulating, so hopefully it will be OK.
I swam (with all my friends again) today in the Benalla pool. My time is an estimate only as half way along I noticed that one of my new gold earings was gone. So I put on my glasses and walked slowly up the lane....until I found it (thankfullly). Luckily there was no-one there and water was still. I never lose cheap things and won't wear these swimming again. The rest of the day was spent gardening.
