Event: Leederville Metro Series
 

Long course at Leederville Metro Series, forgot to take the gps and a card string. Taking it easy in first run for a couple of weeks, didn't feel anything from the hip (only seems to hurt when I'm sitting). Decided before the start that everyone would head immediately for the bridge, so I would go around the East side first and save the lake lap until later. Only one other long runner (Bigpete) taking the same option, beat him to 1 as he was looking in the wrong place, but then he soon pulled away. Left out 14, 15, and 23. Not a lot in it, but probably should have gone from 1 to 5 and left out 2,3, & 4. Had a stitch 3 times, the worst after punching my last control (25) with about 700m to go to the finish. Down in the second half of the field, but 4 guys less than a minute ahead of me so hope to get them next time!

Event: Anaconda Adventure Race
 

Similar ride to yesterday, but did a loop across the other side of Bussell Highway. Touched JBs back wheel when the group slowed at a junction and ended up on the ground with a big graze on my hip. Disappointed to find Meal Up closed, so coffee afterwards was not quite as good.
