Swim 35:00 [3] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
(injured)
Swim in the Benalla pool on a beautiful day. Knee feels really swollen, almost as though it has a golf ball in it (which I suppose it almost has). I am hanging out now for my visit to the surgeon in May. I think it will be bike riding and swimming until then - both of which feel OK - with the exception of the state series O, which I can't resist. Bit of shame, but the whole experience has been a lesson in getting things attended to before they get really bad.

Note
(injured)
Back home again. I finally read all the advertising material in the show bags (bit late) and saw all the events I would have liked to have visited over the weekend. I noticed my workplace, the fire commissioner, was the prime organiser of the street parade - which was a bit odd, as there are only about 8 people working in this office and that was the first I had heard about it. So I am sorry I missed it. I also missed the OA dinner. We went to the Pratty's Patch Pub in Maiden Gully twice and the food was fantastic!

Orienteering 53:00 [3] 5.0 km (10:36 / km)
(injured)
Easter Day 3 at Crusoe. It was great to see where the Bendigo people train and I look forward to going there again. We spent Sun arvo setting up and trying to charm the ranger (which appeared to work, as he was all smiles on Monday).
My club was organising so the day was fairly long and, as a starter, had to repeat the starting speech about 50 times. The distance to the start triangle varied from 50 to 100m, depending upon who else was helping, before finally settling on 70m. Prior to the start we found the missing maps from course 15 on Saturday, in the box for course 15 on Monday! I was tempted to play an April Fools joke on a selected few starters and give them the wrong map - but even I am not that mean.
I had a fairly good run (could run today), with the exception of no 1 which I muffed completely and lost some time. The rest was clean and fast (for me) as I was determined not to be at the bottom of the W45AS list. I caught up to Anne but then trailed her for a while. I then lost her and couldn't see her in the distance on the fairly open terrain between 7 and 8, so figured I had shaken her and took off, in order to get out of sight as quickly as possible. I felt good running and my spilts were around second or third in my class for a fair bit of the course, so that was good.
Knee felt good and held up well but swelled up fairly soon after stopping. I've written this 2 days later and the swelling is just starting to go down. But all worth it. The whole carnival was extremely well organised and run, and I had a great time, so thanks to all involved.
