The Pentland halibut with Paul - CastleLaw Farm, Harlaw, reservoirs, Black Bells col, Glencorse and back.

Beautiful day, joy to be alive. Then it chucked down some hail after we finished!

A bit rough for the rib, and a bit steep to do with shallow breaths. Paul looking in good shape was comfortably quicker throughout.

Running 56:00 [3] 7.0 mi (8:00 / mi)

Plod around the Monday run, finishing along the glen road.

Orienteering race 1:14:27 [3] 8.6 mi (8:39 / mi)

SOL1 Devilla. Brown, 18th winner Sascha 56:18

First SOL of the season, and really struggling in the terrain. Many heavy falls and ensuing frustration. Surveying of ditches looking for crossing points etc. On the plus side, a very clean run, maybe helped by slowness. Knew where I was the whole time, and flags popped up as expected or with minimal circle-faff. Only mistake was running half of 14-9 (oops), though winsplits has a couple of rough short legs in red.

Saturday Mar 15, 2014 #

Orienteering 2:00:00 [1] 2.0 mi (1:00:00 / mi)

Cold coming on.

Craigmillar, greendykes, ERI thing. Sore throat.

Wednesday Mar 12, 2014 #

Running 40:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)

Running warm up/down 9:00 [2] 1.0 mi (9:00 / mi)

Dechmont Law SoSoL 12/33. 3rd M50 (and slower than Hollingdale on blue)

Ran as hard as I could, made no mistakes, still way off the pace. Slippy and fell over a lot, especially early on, sweary frustrated as leg really wouldn't let me stand up. Sad.

Running 40:00 [1] 3.0 mi (13:20 / mi)

Various helper-associated faffage in the cold, including shadowing Leah Bartlett round orange.

Note

Took a couple of hours to warm up after being out today, despite what the BBC thinks

Event: INT Urban O - incorporating SOUL3 and NUL1
 

Running warm up/down 40:00 [3] 3.0 mi (13:20 / mi)

Various jogging around between starts, finishes, carparks etc etc masquerading as warm up.

Running race 11:05 [4] 1.5 mi (7:23 / mi)

Howden sprint. Small hesitation when standing next to a pit in the green and not seeing it. Elsewise clean. A minute down on Tess suggest some faffing elsewhere, not sure where though.

Orienteering race 14:40 [4] 2.0 mi (7:20 / mi)

Almondvale sprint. Got myself trapped on the cunning leg I planned for the JK: maximum idiot points for that! Elsewise clean. A minute down on Tess.

Really need to work on acceleration to top speed if I'm going to do these things.

Ar, Jim, m'lad!: impressive shot of the silveresque leg from DonP.

Running 50:00 [3] 5.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Home for forgotten fluclox. Then round the rim of the hermitage.

Instructions don't say 'do not take during a run'. It doesn't seem to be working anyway.
C • impatient patient 2

Cycling 35:00 [1] 5.0 mi (7:00 / mi)

To and from work, and to Run and Become. The nice people there are considering sponsoring RaceTheCastles if they think anyone will notice.

So if anyone wants to go to their shop, which is a good plan anyway, mention RTC and you'll get a discount.
