Training Log: Lard

Sunny afternoon developing so planned to work from Aberfoyle then ride the Loch Katrine loop from work. Blumming bumpy climb up to Invertrossachs, cafe then a more pleasant if not more undulating surface round Katrine. Legs starting to tire on Dukes. Co-op in Ab for some milk then back. Lovely!

Yellow course with running girl. Great evening for it!

Kia Estate with Dixie. Lovely. But left foot still sore from weekend. No running for a few days.

SNH Pilates - just the ticket!

BOC Relays M40 - First team, second leg with Rog and Dave G.
I attacked this course and enjoyed it but missed at 4 (1 min) and near the end (1 min) so failed in my primary aim of going clean.
SYO were too good for us today - Andy P had a brilliant 1st leg and they stayed there thereafter. SILVER for Team FVO 1, Bronze for FVO 2 (incl Brad's 2nd GB Champs medal in 4 months!).

Great weekend!

BOC Long Distance Champs, Balmoral.
Nervous about this and not sure about my form but as soon as I was climbing over the hill towards one all thoughts were away and I was into the map and running for sheer pleasure. I haven't had that feeling of fitness and terrain ability this year yet and it was a real joy to be able to attack the course and feel like I was going well. Steve Nich was kind to us and we circumvented the first hill rather than climb which was a bonus for me. I missed big time at 4 (5 mins) but seen as I'd caught Fraser (who'd missed bigger) I assumed that most folk would miss time here and wasn't so neg'd out by it. Unfortunately I missed 5 too (1 min) which was all down to just compass running and not map reading. I wasn't that clean for the rest of the course but the combination of strong running and minor misses helped secure a SILVER medal, 4 mins behind Andy S. Yippee!
