Tinto Twin Day Event, Happendon Wood, Blue Course (5.6 km, 90 m) in 58:43 with approximately only 1:15 of errors. Wet, windy and rough underfoot in places - proper "old school" physically demanding orienteering on a better-than-expected area. Steady run with tired legs by the end, but few navigational errors. Two firsts today: the first time I've parked at a Service Station for an orienteering event, and the first time I've every seen a "Fuel Filter Water Level Overflow" error message come up on the dashboard!

Pollok parkrun #297. Only my third visit to Pollok this year, and my first since it was renamed (previously "Glasgow parkrun") over the summer. Steady effort on a wet and windy morning. Official time an unimpressive 23:25.

Jog in and out of the Park.

Tinto Twin Night Event, Carmichael Hill, Blue Course (3.8 km, 105 m) in 51:23 with approximately 11:00 of errors. Wild wind and very tough going underfoot, but no rain on a course mostly on Carmichael Hill. Littered with errors: drifted right on 3-4, drifted badly right (and downhill) on 4-5, miss at 7 (was the boulder mapped in exactly the right place?), big miss at 8 (the quarry I've missed before on previous visits), and overshoot on 8-9 (bounced off the fence behind). Enjoyable, but should have done better.

Rest day.

CLYDE terrain run with Dave, Mirjam, Ty, Ruth, Thomas and Emma on a damp evening. Straight up the Slacks then back clockwise. Unexpectedly rough and brackeny underfoot, but better conditions on the hill than we feared as we drove to the start in heavy rain!

Steady clockwise plod round the usual home to Milngavie to Canniesburn Toll to Bearsden Cross to home loop in an unimpressive 51:57 on a damp evening.

Garscube interval session, Anniesland. 1 x 1 mile in 6:54, 2 x 800 m in 3:23 and 3:32, 4 x 400 m in 1:44, 1:43, 1:45 and 1:46. Session 34:13. First really cool evening of the Autumn.

Rest day.
