Orienteering 45:00 9.0 km (5:00 / km)
3 lap, 3 man relay around Loch Vaa with Rach and Matt H in my team. 3 quite different loops on 3 different scales. Raced round the first one with Hector, then on my own for the second and ran a team effort, alternating legs with Rach on the 3rd. Nice.
Running 35:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:00 / km)
Warm up trying to herd people to the start, then picked a couple of controls up on the way back.
Then killed 8 hours sitting in cafes in Inverness waiting for my train.

Event: Moray Mix Weekend
Orienteering 1:38:30 [5] 19.0 km (5:11 / km)
Full on classic distance on Culbin, a lightning fast and pretty straight-forward course. Pushed reasonably hard and spiked just about everything, but lost a bit of time on a couple of long legs where I got stuck in straight-line mode. Ran a bit of the course with Rhodri who was going really well. A minute or so down on wonder boy, all good really.
Running 40:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
Warm up, no warm down, but a jog later on from the Slochd with Speaky.

Running 35:00 [2] 7.0 km (5:00 / km)
Beautiful run up the valley from Glenmore as a warm up for the gym. Amazing day for it, ran in shorts and t shirt and got too hot.
Circuits 15:00 [2]
At the Glenmore lodge gym.
Weights 15:00 [2]
Weights at glenmore.
Climbing 30:00 [1]
Bilbo took us up to a great crag above Kingussie and put up a couple of routes. Managed the first with a bit of grunting, but struggled on the second. Some good traversing as well. Very nice and warm sun trap.

Orienteering 50:00 9.0 km (5:33 / km)
Uphill contour only followed by a downhill middle race on Inveruglas. Really tricky vague shapes in low vis forest. No bad mistakes, but quite a few smallish misses.
Running 20:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
Warm up and down with GG and Matt.
Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
Spent the afternoon sunbathing (!) then a really nice late afternoon ride out to Docharn along some undulating forest roads. Amazing scenery, enjoyed this a lot.

Orienteering 1:20:00 [4] 13.0 km (6:09 / km)
Long technique session on Darnaway, focusing on picking lines around big holes. Really varied forest, some tough typically Scottish stuff and some beautiful open beech. Got going pretty nicely, longest running session for quite a while.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
Climbing 20:00 [1]
A couple of routes and some nice bouldering on some sandstone cliffs and stacks on the beach near Roseisle. Bilbo put up the routes and helped a few of us up them. Pretty tired after the running but after a coffee and a cake I was just about up to it.

Orienteering 1:10:00 [3] 10.0 km (7:00 / km)
Mixed tech session on Dallaschyle, line, compass O on a blank map, then some long legs and picks. Great terrain, rough and tricky. Pretty good on most of it, but had some trouble on the compass bit - something to work on I think...
Circuits 25:00 [2]
Gym at Glenmore, bliss compared to noisy, busy S10.
Weights 20:00 [2]
And some weights.
Running 20:00 [2]
Warm up and down for the whole day.

Orienteering 55:00 [4] 9.0 km (6:07 / km)
Great terrain, great classic-style course, nice wet conditions, and no complaints from the knee. Long legs on Glen Afric, winding through white lumpy woods in the rain, best session for a long time.
Running 15:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
Warm up and down.
Cycling 1:30:00 [3]
Hired a mountain bike from the Slochd, and headed over to Docharn. Good riding as far as Carrbridge, but then took an unpromising single track that deteriorated to unride-able pretty quickly. Did some pushing, ran out of time and rode the last 30 mins back on the road at a good tempo.
