AWOC club championships at Barambogie South. The course was physically hard due to the waterlogged ground (the lower areas resembled a continuous swamp), long grass and hidden fallen timber and holes. I was a bit off in a couple of controls and struggled physically. Also the controls were often difficult to get to physically and some were quite well hidden. But it was a nice event regardless.

Run around Benalla lake, prior to a nice breakfast in town with Ian and Linda, who stayed the night. It was pretty cold and windy and l wore long sleeves. The cooler weather has meant that the Benalla roses, which are normally in full bloom in this weekend in time for the Benalla festival, are only partially out.

Drove to Bairnsdale yesterday for work today and then home to Benalla today via Omeo and Mt Hotham. It was a long way, but the scenery on the southern side of the mountains was absolutely gorgeous and not cooked to a cinder like the north side. The AWOC club championships are on Sunday at the Barrambogies and l didn't want to miss it.

Street O at Forest Chase. I am back in the land of the living, picked a good route and plodded consistently, so was happy. I bought my $60 Wed series season ticket with my winnings from yesterday - I took my first ever TAB bet and picked the winner, Almandin! I might have to take up betting as my new career!

I have cautiously taken myself off the sick list - that really was quite a prolonged bout of something!
Today l ran around the Benalla lake again, with my km rate the same as yesterday, even though l tried to beat it. There were a lot of walkers, mostly visitors l would say, judging from the lack of greetings. Some of the grass alongside the track up my end of the lake was over my head, which is saying something.

Run around the Benalla lake. Still a bit ill but trying to get going again.
