Typo of the day: Kilmarnock FC tweeted during last night's game that one of their players had just fired a shit over the crossbar.

Melbourne Bush-O at Diamond Creek - with a somewhat more limited bush component than some other events of this genre. What was there still had its perils though, and I made a significant mistake (2 minutes or so) by the standards of such events at #9, ending up at #10 - there were definitely map issues in this area relating to the small tracks and an unmapped waterhole, but I still should have been more on the ball coming in.
Wasn't sure about this before the start but decided to go out, and felt OK doing so. Had a good battle with Martin Steer through the first half of the course, gradually edging away from him on the hills (and he missed an opportunity to get it back when he made a similar error at #9). Was leading when I finished by a minute over Lanita, but I'd expect Bruce, and perhaps others, to go near or below 30 (I didn't hang around myself, with a football match to go to - one which was worth going to given we've waited almost all year for such a result). Missed out on seeing the Olympic 10k but I suspect I would have missed out on seeing most of it anyway had I been relying on Channel 7.
A couple of legs took us across what were mostly railway line bridges; the foot pads at either end were well enough used that I suspect the paths are 'legal' (in that there are no signs or fences to indicate otherwise), but I still wouldn't have wanted to be there when a train was passing and I don't think it was particularly appropriate for the courses to use them. Lanita was considerably more fired up than I was on this point.
