A new start location at the eastern end of the map put us right in the middle of a complicated network of streets and cut-throughs. I wasn't quite sure which control I was running to first up, so I applied the "follow the crowd and see where you land" technique (not necessarily an ideal method). I spent quite a long time puzzling over the rest of my route, and from all accounts I wasnt the only one - nice job by Sally and the Newburys.
A course winners were Andrew H, Steven, and Andrew B. The other Andrew H won B, ahead of Jay and Peter M. First back on C were Ray, Guy and Amanda. I won D from Beverley and Kerryn. Dave scored 63 points, just ahead of Barry on 61, then a bunch on 58, namely Helen, Garry and Muriel.
Time to check in with the overall scores, after 7 weeks. Helen heads up A course ahead of Geoff, but Andrew has 6 wins from 6 starts, and Steven and Ian are the other in-form A course runners. On B, Lauris has a narrow lead over Stuart, with Robert in third. Jay and Andrew have strong averages but are an event in arrears. Eric leads C course from Damian, with Lauren and Andrea (our fruit providers) in third and fourth. Amanda is the main threat, with three wins and a third from four starts. On D, I'm leading Beverley and Allan, with Pat just a handful of points outside the top three. Dave hasn't quite got a perfect score but he is only 2 points off. Barry and Chris are second and third.
See you next Monday at Valley Reserve in Mt Waverley.

Monday Night Series
Where: Southern and eastern suburbs of Melbourne
When: 7:00pm Mondays; all year round
Cost: $5 per event for adults, $2 for juniors (under 21)
What to bring:
jogging/walking shoes and comfortable, light coloured clothing. Bring a
watch, a drink, and a torch for winter events (late March-mid October).
Please arrive 20-30 minutes early. This will provide time to help you register for the event and explain how to take part.
Groups (schools, scouts, sports or social) are extremely welcome,
but please contact us at least a week prior to the event so we can
ensure enough maps are printed.
In
summer (October-March), there are 4 runners courses ranging from 3.5-10 km, and a 60
minute power walkers' course. For runners the format is Scatter (visit a
designated number of controls in any order, first back wins), and for
power walkers the format is Score format (visit as many controls as you
can in the allocated time).
Enquiries: tel 0409 959 673 (Annie)
In
winter (March-October), there are 25 controls marked on the map. Choose one of two formats - a 60 minute Score course (visit as many controls as you can in the allocated time, aiming to score as many points as possible), or a "Target" course, where you aim to achieve a target score between 4 and 36 points.
Enquiries: 0409 135 020 (Debbie)
