FVO Night Race at Little Druim Wood/Duncraggan planned by Trevor. A seriously tough race through mud and bog and marsh and bog and marsh and a few trees. Did I say bog? Thoroughly enjoyed the head to head with Brad (until he nodded off) and Fanni and battling over the tough ground. A really good hard workout. Maybe a little too hard for me just the now!

Some map and terrain training in Polmaise and Murray's Wood.

Body tired but enjoying being in the forest, some lovely features visited for the first time.

Run 30:00 [2]
Stirling Schools XC Champs today. On the bus with the 37 P6s and P7s from Newton Primary School (including one Jamie Connor).
Really good day out, light snow on the ground, good wee mile course at Bannockburn High. The kids did great, far better than Brad and I can take credit for after just three weeks into the new running club. Jamie O 1st and Scott 2nd in the P6 Boys race being the highlight of the day. Really impressed with the positive attitude of all 37 kids! Fab!
