Orienteering 1:05:00 [3] 6.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

Gullane training, with James, ran Jane's course from SOC2017. Tougher going than I remembered in the marram.

In and out, Chasing some wild geese.

Strength&conditioning 35:00 [3]

Left Knee has been playing up since the drive home, so back to the exercises for that again.

Sunday Dec 30, 2018 #

Cycling 3:20:00 [3] 45.0 mi (4:27 / mi)

With Marcin, in a windfest out through Dalmeny/Queensferry/Hopetoun Abercorn, then back through Dechmont, Deans bridge, round by St.Margarets and home via Kirknewton. And a puncture at West Calder. Warm, with some water on the road causing much splashing.

Strength&conditioning 35:00 [3]

Knee again. Still sore after driving back

Saturday Dec 29, 2018 #

Running race 21:37 [4] 3.1 mi (6:58 / mi)

Cramond Parkrun. Sneaky try for a fats tine thwarted by strong winds. Ran steady effort, getting to halfway at 10 mins... But kind of bottled it, needed to go with Jimmy Hudson (M65) who got 20m on me at the turn and cruised back in a pack. 1st M55, woo woo! (we'll ignore Jimmy here).
Having dragged me across town, james at least had the courtesy to win in 1713. Not too shabby.

Cycling 1:40:00 [2] 22.0 mi (4:33 / mi)

Musselburgh to not do the Festive Frolic. With Jane on her new bike. Long way back via Dalkeith, Shawfair & Gilmerton. Lots of cyclepaths

Running 25:00 [3] 2.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

Unusually well organised warm up and down.

Strength&conditioning 45:00 [3]

Friday Dec 28, 2018 #

Cycling 3:10:00 [3] 50.0 mi (3:48 / mi)

With Marcin, Lasswade Rd - Musselburgh- Coast - Drem, Dalkeith and back.

Flying out along the coast, Marcin was keen to push on to North Berwick, glad we turned when we did, as the westerly got up and was tough & cold all the way back.

3-2-1 minutes with James in the football ground in goring.
On Xmas day in the morning
I saw three sets come trailing in...

Then we did one more, but there are no 4-related Carols.

Felt pretty good about this, James also looking smooth.

Running 1:20:00 [3] 8.5 mi (9:25 / mi)

Hill run with James, from beeftub along the ridge down the hill to moffat. Much faffage when distracted by a footpath on tother side of river, leading to up and downage and fence crossings.

Saturday Dec 22, 2018 #

Running tempo 21:00 [4] 3.1 mi (6:46 / mi)

Parkrun. Last chance to crack the 21 Min barrier. Fail.
But still a 2018 PB. An 3.5 Min improvement over the year, probably only half of which is down to conditions.

Orienteering race 58:31 [4] 6.2 mi (9:26 / mi)

INT club champs at BarrWood, on a 1:7500 map for improved legibility (cough). Run in the snow, cold but generally fine except for two controls on very steep slopes. Fell a lot, and got completely freaked by these to the level of hyperventilating and having to stop once clear to stretch and breathe. Not good :(

C • 1:7500 for fitting on an A4... 10

Running 21:04 [4] 3.1 mi (6:48 / mi)

Parky McParkrun. Nice flurry of icy rain en route, but only one section of ice on the course and conditions pretty good. Held a 21 min pace with Amy Kerr and Stuart Fletcher until the last 200m where they sprinted inside the 21 barrier and I sprinted outside it. Brrr. Grrr.

Still, PB for 2018 so a small something to be grateful for.

Running 50:00 [2] 5.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Faffage. Home for forgotten sarnies, to Craigmillar and back home again.

Orienteering 40:21 [3] 4.8 mi (8:24 / mi)

FWTN Craigmillar. Nice course by Sasha, though the urban butterfly was optimised for head-to-head racing so a tad repetitive when run alone. Last a couple of mins at 12, being too low on the slope to see the tube behind a bush above me, which left me 50sec down on Jon Ellis. http://www.rstrain.ndtilda.co.uk/results_18/fwtn_1...

Orienteering 1:01:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:10 / mi)

TAY Xmas score on St.Magdalene Hill, Perth. Nice day, but never really got going, lots of stopping and starting and found the map a bit of a guddle with circles, codes and point values tightly packed over a busy map.

Running 21:24 [3] 3.1 mi (6:54 / mi)

Running 1:25:00 [3] 10.0 mi (8:30 / mi)

Bideford - Instow, loop of Instow and loop about Bideford to get some stiff climb in to compensate for the flat trail. Wet grey day where the sea met the sky seamlessly.

Just one couple walking a dog on the Tarka trail. "Hello Graeme" says Kevin Martin. Hello, er, Kevin, says me, dragging a name from somewhere. I'm not sure we've spoken more than a couple of times since we were at primary school together, certainly not for 30 years.
