Street-O @ Balwyn Central

Horrible little course. John had been particularly nasty and made us go to Control #10 FIRST. It was, of course, on the edge of the map, so there was a great long line of us all running the 1.3km to this one control. Jenny was waiting for us to make sure we hadn't picked up #9 or #13 or #17 on the way. Then we had an awkward route choice to figure out the best way of collecting them all on the way back in.

I ended up following Geoff all the way around - with him always about 40m in front. Comparing notes afterwards, we decided that we should have dropped #7 and #3 and gone for #19 and maybe #20 instead. Hindsight is a wonderful tool.

I struggled a bit with the run tonight - especially the uphills, which all seemed a lot longer than marked on the map.

I didn't succumb to the chocolate fudge slice either. It was a close call though - after our staff meeting, I walked up to the tray and picked up the knife ready to cut the last piece in half. Dharmesh joined me and was waiting to retrieve the other half, when I came to my senses and said No! and walked away. Ten minutes later the rest of it had disappeared.
