After 2 days running I am currently in third position which is a little surprising, hopefully I can maintain my position. Today I had a steep decline down one hill and stepped on a stone that moved underneath me. I then managed to fall on my side hitting my thigh (above the knee) with one rock and then hit my elbow really hard on another rock. The elbow is grazed and black and blue by the time I got back to the finish. (about 1.5km away) the leg is fairly sore but no cuts just black with bruising.
Probably be still tomorrow, managed a shower without too much pain when I got back to our accommodation. Today after the racing we went to Conara and took a photo of the train station for Jo at scrapbooking classes.
We then stopped at Perth for a few photos then headed off to Cataract Gorge. Despite Alex’s fear of heights he decided to join me on the chair lift over the Gorge. It was really good. Alex wasn’t too keen but survived the trip although he was hanging of to the pole for grim death.
We then went for a walk up the gorge, then returned, got the chairlift back. Alex thought it was a little better. We then walked over the suspension bridge. It was really swinging around but Alex managed to get over to the other side and then back. Alicia and Jodie were coming over after us so they took a photo or two. Jodie really hates heights as much as Alex but Alicia and I are fine.
One more day of Orienteering and then we collect the campervan and head off. I haven’t uploaded any photos today as it is costing a fair bit on my pre-paid broadband device.
Will do some more editing on the photos before I upload so they are much smaller.
We rang the kids to see if they were having a great Easter. Kristen is in a 3 day training session and Sandy is over at Grants for the weekend.
