FVO Local Event at Coilhallan North, Blue Course (5.2 km, 130 m climb) in 59:11. A proper, tough orienteering area. Great to be out in real terrain again. Must have stopped my watch by accident when I tripped over an old wire fence coming out of 11.

Slight variation on the usual Milngavie/Torrence/Baldernock/Mugdock/Milngavie loop starting up Boclair Road on a sunny afternoon.

Rest day.

Cycle to intervals.

Garscube Interval Session. 12 x 200 m. Getting dropped each time, but managed to not let the gap get too large.

Cycle from intervals.

Green Course (4.9 km, 125 m). Official time 43:09. Ironically, the latest Covid rules meant that I could go to this FVO event in Dunblane, but not the CLYDE event in Glasgow tomorrow. First proper visit to a surprisingly interesting and varied area on a sunny evening. Wobbles at 2, 15 and 16-17, plus a poor route choice 21-22 which involved picking my way along the side of the river and then crawling up a sandy slope with brambles. Flagged badly towards the end, but a good workout, and it was good to see several people I haven't seen in the flesh for a long time.

Usual loop of the Whangie with rain at the start and bright sunshine at the end while R walked with Pippin. Slightly sore knees after Sunday.

Rest day. Hand and knee getting gradually better, and so probably time to remove the "injured" flag.
