Forest-O 1:17:20 [3] 14.0 km (5:31 / km)
Scottish champs - gullane-archerfield-yellowcraigs
Awful run, but it was never going to happen. Psyched myself up for this way too much in the weeks before, then totally fatigued after mods exam and confidence gone after Tranent SOUL. Forgot garmin which was clearly a sign.
Excuses out the way, was still a terrible race - overestimated how bad I had been in yellowcraigs, was only 2:30 down coming out onto the beach, but then totally lost it and was in no-kidding full on last place at the map turnover. Gained a bit trying to push past Noah into the finish.
sadness :(

Mods done, all over.
7 PM
Sprint-O race 19:35 [4] ** 4.9 km (4:00 / km) +20m 3:55 / km
Tranent SOUL
Not sure what went wrong, ran pretty hard, didn't go the wrong way. I think I'm basically just not fast enough to compete when there's not a lot of nav - more intervals sessions coming.

Running (out of date) 44:54 [4] 9.8 km (4:35 / km) +60m 4:27 / km
3x meadow with Freddo
Almost like I didn't learn my lesson from yesterday, but got away with double session today with shins better this evening than in the morning...??
Good fun and decent pace, bit slower in the middle to spectate the 2 mile race.

Running (out of date) 26:25 [4] 6.0 km (4:24 / km) +40m 4:16 / km
Making up for yesterday on the meadows and astley ainslie. Crazy hot outside and dying in the heat a bit.
7 PM
Running (out of date) 7:45 [3] 1.7 km (4:34 / km) +20m 4:18 / km
Down and only just caught first interval (starting at +25 instead of +5... oops)
8 PM
Running (out of date) intervals 23:45 [4] 6.3 km (3:46 / km)
Nightmare session. (5 x 1250)
splits: dont ask, really bad, 4:24, worse again, 4.23
Shins were not playing after the second one but was to be expected, what a ridiculous and frankly arrogant suggestion that I might need them to work more than once in the same day.
Very frustrating session, just gotta hope this was the shin pain I've had before that lasts one day rather than the start of another long patch :/

No 'back' this week - weighing up whether it was better to walk home or run to get to the ice quicker...

Forest-O race 1:03:26 [4] *** 9.1 km (6:58 / km) +280m 6:02 / km
Glen Nant SOL
Steady through the forest section, made extensive use of the paths, but a minute down at 3. Good long leg (despite control circle wobblage) to 4 to get lead and overtake Dad without seeing him. A few minor errors out on the fell but held the lead. V jealous of ECKO training areas, soo nice.
(climb was advertised as 500m, no idea what my garmin's up to)
