Again a morning session, this time on the tracks around Aranda Hill and the lower part of Black Mountain with Bruce. Steady if not sparkling. Got somewhat waylaid coming past the Bluett-Jones residence on the way back.

Sprint at Radford. Slightly iffy start in the bush overshooting 2 a little, then into the buildings. The first few legs in the buildings were fairly straightforward (managed to stay on my feet in this section this year), but that was lulling us into a false sense of security with some terrific legs in mid-course. Hesitated a bit going into 13; Jules (3 minutes) caught me there, which wasn't a surprise, as did Paul Cuthbert (1 minute), which was perhaps slightly less expected. Was chasing Paul the rest of the way which pushed me along a bit (him being a little faster); felt like I was running OK on the second session but perhaps dropping away a bit on pace judging by the splits. Lots of fun; a fairly similar result to yesterday. Managed to achieve one objective of not being last finisher (something which required defending 5 minutes on Patrick, something managed without a great deal to spare), and knocked off Martin Dent again, although it would probably be more accurate to say that Martin beat himself.

Whilst on the Cuthbert theme, I spotted Ella using someone's head as a stretching prop. I presume it was someone she knows.
