A course with flags and units at only a few of the controls. Tricky area and was not especially confident for the most part.

Quick relay with Scotjos. Set out joint first with my sister and we get the win:L

Haven't mentioned a watch i found on the Cairngorm camp a few weeks back. Anyone know who could own it? It is a forrunner 305

Three short courses.

2 sets of 6x115m ish diagonals. Not pushing too hard.

Then shuttle runs in threes. Again not pushing too hard. Each about 18 seconds

Jog the bends stride the straights. Pretty tough.

Some strides, drills and a jog to warm up

Easy out with a friend when home. A couple of efforts. Feeling surprisingly strong on the bike!

Started with a 1.5 minute lead after having lost the big advantage yesterday. Knew i was being chased by a very strong runner so set off hard. Bad route to two lost me some time but pushed on. V easy navigation and leg 3 was a totally open 3 minute leg towards a very visible hill into a huge headwind. About half way on the leg he could see me and i didn't really have a chance. Dead legs, easy course and visibility meant it was just a matter of time before he caught me. When caught i slowed down considerably. Hoping to save something for the finish. He sat behind me until the second to last control then breezed past:L sounds like i am going to have to try make up for it racing him at eyoc!

Messed around for three minutes in the first half. Caught a small pack and started planning ahead to get away, hoping they would lead me in. Stupid from me. Then straight into the open for the second half of the course. I couldn't deal with the heat and pace, stumbled down the run in!
