Running 58:00 [3] 7.0 mi (8:17 / mi)

After a day of endless meetings up to 7:30...
Home around Frogston Brae with detours into Mortonhall and Buckstone, including something google calls the waterboard field. Which obviously works since I felt the need to say so.

Note

Ron Hill took a day off running today. I was toddling round the park the last time that happened.

Running 1:30:00 [3] 6.0 mi (15:00 / mi)

And so, it being Scotland, the weather turned fabulous with a crispy frost and clear blue skies.

Pentlands with james and Max. Much off trail and lots of climb. Summited Castlelaw and Harbour, something of a comedy combination, involving going round the back of Capelaw.

Saturday Jan 28, 2017 #

Running 1:30:00 [3] 9.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

A miserable cold wet day type of the type Edinburgh is unjustly famed.
Tried to run last year's city race course, but never got going or the oomph on wet steps and dodging people, Ended up running Colin Ledlie's Fountainbridge Sprintelope course. The developments by the Canal are now opening up...

Friday Jan 27, 2017 #

Running 1:00:00 [2] 7.0 mi (8:34 / mi)

Steady round Craigmillar, Niddrie, ERI

Thursday Jan 26, 2017 #

Running race 27:00 [5] 4.1 mi (6:35 / mi)

KB dash. Cold, sunny and still. Moderate caninicity.
Was a bit hacked off by last month's massive PW (still suspect a minute got lost there, mumble, mumble), so out with the racing shoes, shorts and contact lenses. Stuart Simmons promptly dropped me off the start, but maintained some pace to record a fastest time for over a year.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Wednesday Jan 25, 2017 #

Running 50:00 [3] 5.5 mi (9:05 / mi)

Started well, then tailed off quite alarmingly, and felt pretty wiped by the end.

Monday Jan 23, 2017 #

Running 56:00 [2] 6.0 mi (9:20 / mi)

Tired today, so shortened the Monday run omitting Fairmile Park and Blackford Hill

Sunday Jan 22, 2017 #

Cycling 40:00 [1] 7.0 mi (5:43 / mi)

To and from the event, once round the queens drive. And a wee trip up the bog looking for a lost runner before returning with slapped wrists from a ranger.

Running 2:00:00 [2] 12.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Controlling on the Seat, Checking the controls, running some mazes, a few lap of the parade ground now and then to keep warm.
Perishing cold, in that 2 degree high humidity sort of way.

Note

Another big weekend controlling done. Plus ca change.
Lots of good innovative ideas. Never got the final course before printing, everything ran late of the day. All the controls hung in the right place, just in time for the first start.
There's no such thing as an easy run on the Seat.

Event: EUOC Big Weekend

Cycling warm up/down 16:00 [1] 3.0 mi (5:20 / mi)

There and back

Orienteering race 44:27 [5] 6.7 mi (6:38 / mi)

Edinburgh City race. MSV.
Appropriately racing the lame and the blind on course 3. No regrets - course was a decent length this week and some interesting stuff. Very long leg - 2km - from Heriots to beyond Calton Hill, which ended up being a run down the Royal Mile dodging the tourists.

Ran flat out all the way, a few stops when I couldn't read the map, which were pointless because it just confirmed that I couldn't read the map. This is a big advantage, because I know what goes through and what's blocked, but it still doesn't help if you dont know where you're trying to get to.

Not a very deserved win then, but I think others know the area well.

Running 20:00 [2] 2.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

In out, pretend to warm up for FWTN

Orienteering race 28:38 [4] 3.0 mi (9:33 / mi)

BW-FWTN at KB. Took james entry since he has the shin splints.

Really should have been able to get round here without bother.

But I forgot the you can't get all the way round to Crew building and got well stuck in green, and went base over apex a couple of times when kerbs leapt up out of the ground without so much as a by your leave.

First M50+. Indeed I suspect everyone ahead of me was younger than my T-shirt.

Running 40:00 [2] 4.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Orienteering race 27:48 [5] 4.9 km (5:40 / km)

Cramlington Urban.
M55 debut. Ran hard, clean and smooth on a simple course which was more sprinty than urban.

Got thumped.

Orienteering 40:00 [3] 4.5 km (8:53 / km)

So it became clear that the MV course actually went into the interesting bit. Since the distances were so tiny, ran most of that as well for a warm down (excluding the school which was identical to MSV). Made quite a few mistakes and had to think quite hard - maybe tiredness or post race poor concentration.

Running warm up/down 22:00 [2] 2.0 mi (11:00 / mi)

Back and forth between starts/registration/ finish etc.

Really glorious day today, Ran over the Braids and Hermitage exploring some paths less travelled, including the ridge path on the Braids which I have missed while its been getting well established. There seems to be a small access spat going on with the high south path in the Hermitage.
