Walk 28:14 [1] 2.12 km (13:20 / km) +146m 9:55 / km
Walk to Start. The weird-looking GPS trace isn't quite correct!
Orienteering race 1:04:46 [3] 6.79 km (9:32 / km) +193m 8:21 / km
Dukeshouse Wood Orienteering Race, Course 4 (5.9 km, 160 m) in 69:02. Scrappy in the green at the start (with misses at 5 and 7) but then just a weary slog to the end, with a particular low point being the large area of unmarked windblow on the optimum route between 19 and 20 which forced me back down the hill and probably cost me 3 or 4 extra minutes. Surely they could have marked this on the map? Not doing this made the route choice on this leg a complete lottery.

Cycling 24:51 [2] 9.27 km (2:41 / km) +11m 2:40 / km
Frosty early morning cycle from Cramlington to Blyth Links parkrun. Numb fingers by the time I got there!
Road Race race 25:14 [3] 4.98 km (5:04 / km)
Blyth Links parkrun #82, Official result 48/156 in 25:15. A nice seaside course visiting the promenade and the dunes on each of 2.5 laps. Ran a bit quicker than was wise with a middle distance race only three hours later.
Cycling 34:30 [3] 32.51 km (1:04 / km) +253m 1:01 / km
11 AM
Orienteering race 33:22 [4] 5.32 km (6:16 / km) +98m 5:44 / km
Shaftoe Crags Middle Distance Orienteering Race, Blue Course (4.9 km, 100 m) in 32:20. Fast and furious round a very runnable open area with just enough (small!) features to keep the navigation non-trivial. Pretty clean except for a small wobble on the way to the last control. Sloppy to have the wrong number (namely 202) on the stake at control 201, though!

Urban Orienteering race 26:34 [3] 4.72 km (5:38 / km) +22m 5:30 / km
Cramlington Urban Orienteering Race, Course 1 (2.5 km) in 26:32 (official). The fading light made it impossible for late starters (like me) to see the map properly, and I took several non-optimum routes when I couldn't see shortcuts through the houses. Finished in darkness. Some good legs on the first half of the course.

Terrain Run 57:16 [3] 8.09 km (7:05 / km) +242m 6:10 / km
CLYDE Terrain Run. A slight variation on the usual 356 Trig loop, going out and back via the (not so) muddy field to avoid the lambs (!) in the usual field with Dave, Mirjam and Klaas in near perfect conditions: sunny but not too warm, still and dry underfoot with great views from the top. A great day to be out on the local hills!

Road Run 47:09 [3] 7.77 km (6:04 / km) +81m 5:46 / km
Road loop up the the roundabout, down to the fire station, through Milngavie, then back to Bearsden along Roman Road for the first time in absolutely ages. What a difference a day or two makes to the weather: after the warm sunshine on Monday I set off in light snow/hail this evening!

Cycling 1:25:53 [3] 26.38 km (3:15 / km) +329m 3:04 / km
First Spring-like cycle of the year (i.e. with sunglasses and thin gloves but no lights!) using two new (to me) stretches of road to the north and the south of (the temporarily shut) Tower Road. Good to explore some new places in nice weather.
