White Hills No 4. Amazingly complex area right near the centre of Bendigo. It even had underground bits and some new varieties of prickle! Route choices were clear - stick to the open or get ripped apart.
I opted for course 2 and was going reasonably well when l missed a control and had to backtrack. Turns out l missed TWO controls and so would be an MP. I also misjudged the finish shute and ran up the hill.
Turns out that was not the finish at all! There was a whole other course on the other side of the map and l was only half way round - and running up the hill was in fact the correct route!. For the second half l only walked. Foot was a bit sore ( the rocks resembled those in the WRC). I found the navigation a bit easier at a walk and the second time around.
Shame this map was not saved up for something special. It reminded me of Rowdy Flat.

C • Special not so easy 2

C • Damn! 4

Run around Blackburn Lake and creeklands. It's going to be a beautiful sunny day and there was a hint of daphne and jonquil in the air - perhaps there is hope after all. Time was slow but l didn't feel too bad. Not sure why it has taken me a week to recover from the trip (driving, camping and rogaining).

C • the answer is just that 4

Walk around Blackburn on a gloomy evening. I hope spring comes soon.

Swim in the very lovely Aquanation Ringwood, trying to stretch out my back which is still sore. One good thing about the rogaine is that it fixed my sore foot, which has been sore for about a year but has not hurt since the rogaine! It was possibly the ankle taping that did it.Knee hasn't given me any trouble since then either.

I was meant to do some work today but the motor wouldn't start. Not at all. I think the battery is flat. Went for a walk around Blackburn instead

C • metaphorical? 3

Run along the Yarra from Tikalara Park to Fitzsimmons Lane and back. It was quite warm and l shouldn't have worn my long sleeved top. I struggled a bit but it was better than nothing. There were lots of walkers and riders out.
