CLYDE Sprint Orienteering Training, Linwood. A straight-or-round route choice exercise in pairs followed by two mass start sprint courses in 11:03 (Course A) and 11:19 (Course B). Nice to see people in person again, and we managed to avoid the showers too!

Levengrove parkrun #36. I was hoping for a quick time after a relatively easy week, but the strong winds which put paid to the Devil's Burdens Relay certainly didn't help as I struggled round for 14/68 in a very modest 25:23.

Knees still a bit sore, so glad of an extra rest day.

STOP PRESS: Devil's Burdens Relay tomorrow cancelled at last minute due to the forecast high winds!

Resting sore knees after yesterday, and resting up for the Devil's Burdens Relay on Saturday where I'm running leg 3 with Ty S!

Cycle to garage. Damp and blustery!

FVO Night Event, Polmaise, Long Course (5.1 km, 180m) in 69:31 (official) plus jog to start and looking for a lost runner at the end. Only my second ever visit to this uniquely weird area (renamed "Polmaze" on the map) comprising a maze of paths through rhododendrons and a windswept quarry, i.e. not exactly "may you run in sunlit forests terrain"! Lost time on 8-9 when I had to backtrack and 17-18 when the map just stopped making sense at the crucial point, with wobbles at 11 and 12. Totally on my own from 11, and strange now I had absolutely no idea how long I had been out for for when I finished (I guessed about 50 minutes).

Cycle from garage.

A successful attempt at the loop cut short by a puncture a week ago, i.e. Milngavie to Baldernock to Torrence and back entirely on back roads. It took 35 minutes cycling (rather than 90 minutes of walking) to get back from Torrence this time!
