Aus MTBO sprint champs along the Torquay foreshore. I was a bit slow but OK.

Aus MTBO middle distance champs. I was happy because it was pretty technical. About midway a stick got stuck in my front wheel and l went over the handlebars and landed on my face. Cut chin and lips (lots of blood), regrazed knee from last weekend fairly badly, got big bruises on thighs and a sore jaw. Broke mapboard in half. Felt pretty sorry for myself and walked back to the first aid van. DNF. Not riding tomorrow.

Street O at Heathmont. It was very humid and l just walked. Tomorrow is a big day - Ian and Linda (from China) are getting married!

Run at Reef Hills which came to an abrupt halt when l tripped over a rock and fell flat on my face, sustaining torn pants and gravel rash on one knee and both hands. Not happy! I walked back to the car.

Slow swim in the Benalla pool. The weather here is very warm and humid,especially after yesterday's huge electrical storm. I spent yesterday afternoon searching for a neighbour's lost labrador which ran away in the storm. It was found, fortunately.

AWOC annual club championships at Magenta Mine Chiltern on a very humid day. I messed up #1 as usual but was probably a bit off on all controls. I could hardly run due to the warm humid conditions. Event was followed by a communal lunch to celebrate the club's 40th birthday.
