Run around No 7 and most of Crusoe, when my pulled hammy started to give me grief, so then walked. Pretty warm day.

Street O champs at St Helena. It was hot and hilly, and l did my best. In retrospect l don't think l picked the best route, and should have gone in the opposite direction, where the run through the last few controls would have been more gradual. Maybe a run in this area prior to this event (my first time here) would have helped too. Regardless, l had no hope of beating Carolyn.
I drove to Benalla afterwards and now have quite a tight calf (someone else described theirs as a 'cow'').

Street O at Kerrimuir. It was hot and E course felt as tough as C course normally does. I was trying to not overdo it, as tomorrow night is the street O championships. The BBQ crowd then came to my place. I had made a huge cream cake with passionfruit icing (a do-it-yourself belated birthday cake). Unfortunately, three other cakes and a cheesecake also turned up!

Blackburn lake and creeklands. It really was beautiful in the bush. I finished with a stretch in the playground, where the pair of rainbow lorikeets were busy making their home in a hollow.
