Still no exercise. I would have liked to have been at the MTBO champs as it sounded like lots of fun (today was a sprint in the vineyards and there was a dinner last night and another tonight). But instead I spent a fun day sorting out my affairs (accounts, BAS and tax) which have been somewhat neglected over the past months and were in one almighty mess. It took all day. I have to go back to Melbourne tomorrow to finish cleaning out Mum's house and garage.

I ran an emergency management workshop at Wodonga all day. It was the first one of these I have done since the Black Saturday fires and the participants were interested in hearing about my unfortunate experiences over recent years.
We finished early and I detoured through Yackandandah in time to catch the end of the Aus MTBO Middle Distance event at Rowdy Flat. Everyone was having a great time - expeciallly crossing a little bridge at the end (but I didn't see any swims, despite encouragement from onlookers). It appeared you didn't need to be able to ride a bike for this event as many people walked (carrying and pushing their bikes) nearly the whole way. I didn't envy the people wearing cleats who had to climb up those really steep slippery banks whilst also carrying a bike - it was hard enough climbing them for the Oceania champs while wearing spikes. Someone suggested they would have been better off taking a small folding unicycle rather than a big bike. 2 hours for 10 km seemed the norm.

No exercise happening this week. Drove to Benalla and worked all day. The moving to Heathmont has only half happened. My mother had sooo much stuff - including boxes with all my school assignments and kindergarten drawings (maybe time to get rid of them now).

I am in a huge muddle today as it is moving day - 2 house worths of accumulated junk (both from Mum's house and my flat) into one house at Heathmont. I don't really feel like moving but it has been forced upon me as Mum's house needs to be painted and carpeted ready for sale.
