Running 28:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:00 / mi)

Briskish scuttle round the Hermitage

Note

Commonwealth Games athletics. Late acquisition of tickets from Tim Smith.
Had heard dreadful stories of trains, Park and Rides, buses etc. So we drove to Hampden, parked half a mile away, and drove home. Nae bother.

Tremendous evening of athletics, superb women's 10k and 1500. Not quite the right angle to see the 110m hurdles (just beyond the finish line). Some other cool stuff, and some fat blokes running a 1500 much slower than the women.

Monday Jul 28, 2014 #

C • you should have had the tea stop and left him out in the rain 1

Friday Jul 25, 2014 #

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

Lap of Inch, the a quick Sprint course around Liberton. Excusably, legs are too heavy for sprinting after last night. Inexcusably, brain not playing either.

Note

Discovered that at WOC2013 they replanned the courses to stay out of the woods at a fairly late stage. Feeling less incompetent about the test course I planned for Murray & Tessa.
C • Interesting 1

Orienteering 1:10:00 [3] 6.0 mi (11:40 / mi)

Docharn. Training alone.

Somehow I've always missed out on this area. Thought I only had 1:15000 maps, but found a 1:10 lurking from long ago (hand drawn course, pin punches on the map, 7min/kms all attest to age). Found it very hard on the vague slope, couldnt figure contours or veg. Then snapped into it in the detailed areas. Nice.

BASOC event, woods around Grantown. Flat
