Road Race race 47:23 [5] 10.0 km (4:44 / km) +82m4:33 / km
Linlithgow 10 K 2016 in 47:23. Interesting undulating course with significant climbs between 1 K and 2 K and between 6 K and 8 K on a sunny afternoon. Disappointed with the time. Heavy legs from the start and I found it a real struggle from about 4 K to the end.
Perth parkrun #146 on a blustery morning in 22:23 (a large piece of trim blew off the car on the way home!). Excellent running conditions on a fast course, and disappointed not to better my previous time (22:08) with a good effort. Debut for a new pair of bright blue Asics.

Three and a half hours in terrain checking out the map and looking at possible control sites for next year's Scottish 6 Days with Ben S. Tired after a long day!
Terrain Run49:08 [4] 7.1 km (6:55 / km) +199m6:04 / km
Anti-clockwise round Jaw Reservoir with Dave and Ty in the gathering gloom (7.10 km, 199 m climb in 49.08) while the girls did a gentler loop. Head torches needed on the way back for the first time since the Spring ... winter is closing in!
Garscube interval session, 8 x 1 km near Switchback road with a significant climb during the first half of each lap all between 4:28 and 4:36. Good consistent hard effort. Didn't feel to bad afterwards, but felt pretty tired the next morning! Knees felt rather better than expected (but still not right).
