MTBO 1:27:38 [4] 17.65 km (4:58 / km)
(injured)
I decided to have a big weekend of MTBO. It took my knee a week to recover from last weekend's foot-O, which was a shame, so I thought MTBO might be a bit less stressful on it.
Saturday's event was at Muckleford Diggings, a fairly flat area a bit like the Killawarras in the NE. I did course 3, which was correct for my age group. All went well until the 2nd last control where I tried to find a sneaky route to outsmart the opposition. I knew it wasn't going well when I went through spider webs. It was a bad route choice and probably cost me at least 10 mins. Still, it was fun and I had a good time. Ross from Benalla came for a go. He usually does motorbike rallying, so this was a change. Turned out he knew about 4 people there already.
I camped at the caravan park at Creswick, which was very nice, with the exception of a domestic dispute inside a nearby tent to which the police were called! 26 of us went to an MTBO dinner at the pub, which was very social.
