Compass Sport Trophy, 2012 - Tullie Farm.
God, what a day - howling wind, driving rain and still not feeling right.
I should not be running this slow!
Managed to turn up, run, take Matthew round the string course and leave - saw very few club members ;-)
Thanks to the rest of the club we won! By the smallest of margins.

A test run to see how I feel.
I am on the mend from whatever it was, but tomorrow will still just be a long run in the hills rather than a race....
Thankfully, we have plenty of more able people on the brown.

Not sure what's up with me - very wheezy and can't get HR high at all.
Can't be just to do with missing 3 days of training.... kids?

Feeling a bit under the weather.
Damn glad I didn't go to Errochty - 93 mins for the fastest 40, way too far!

FVO training at Falkirk Wheel.
Great to get the whole family out on such a sunny day. Took Matthew round most of the yellow - lots of fun in the mud and playing poo sticks.
Then a blast round the green course. Didn't enjoy the cow-trod start but really enjoyed the rest. Cracking area.
Thanks to all the FVO helpers that ran today, great stuff!

ahr:143 max:176
After 3 failures to get off my backside I eventually forced myself out of the door (well, it was such a nice day!) and when waiting for satelites decide this was a worthy day to try for a PB on the Kinnoul Route,
Set off steady as always but worked a bit harder than normal up the first set of steps on the Scone Road and then literaly just dug in from then to the top (there really isn't much let-up for nearly 15 minutes!).
Struggling to get my HR up today, no quite feeling 100% but grittily attacking things eneough to get the new time to the top - 24:44 !!!
Previous 25:04, so not much progress really ;-)
Had a breather at the top and cruised home.

Orienteering 1:06:00 [4]
ESOC SOSOL at West Lomond Hills.
How orrible is that! Throughly hated the waist deep heather and knee high tussocks on the first half of the course.
Cheered up by the more runnable north side return section - but a bit dulled by the low technical challenge.
Thankfully Jamie whupped me by 11 minutes!

A run from home at lunch time having been at the pool with Matthew all morning and then straight out the door (after a banana sandwich) to collect Janine and Hannah from the hospital. They're home! Although you wouldn't know it - she's so (touch wood) QUIET!!!
Got lost on Laigh Hills (can you believe it!) so out for 10 mins longer than planned.

Kinnoull Hill run from work.
Fair bouncing along.... until I hit the hill. No watch with me again so I'm pretty sure it was another PB!

Easy Run 30:00 [3]
Easy run from work. Tried to run round the golf course on Moncrieffe Island but it transpires the golfers don't want anybody else in there - very nettly so curtailed the full loop. Various niggles but only niggles.

ahr:165 max:179
Comrie Hill Relays, Leg 1 for FVO's 2nd team.
Boy I deserved to be in the 3rd team! Huffing and puffing and lots of self-preservation going on. Having said that I ran all the way and felt better than expected. Managed to whack a woman in the head with my foot whilst gate crossing (I was there first!).
FVO's first team finished 5th overall and took the 1st mixed team prize!
Roger, Elsie and Fiona, Marcus and Ross (who won his leg!).
Great day out, great finish arena and bar-b. Glad I didn't drive all that way to Forvie.

FVO WEE Stirling Town.
Pushed reasonably hard on this and worked at finding decent routes. Not the best but I survived. Can't believe I beat Pinker!
Good fun but I will be sore tomorrow (and legs already throbbing from nettle stings!).

Run 48:00 [4] 7.8 km (6:09 / km)
Kinnoull Hill from work.
Feeling a bit bouncier today - could it be because I had no watch (Garmin battery low) and knew this wouldn't be against the clock?
Couldn't say that I bounded up the hill but I've felt much worse than this.
Lovely day for it.
Blue car also has a leaky cooling system, Ker Ching!

ahr:145 max:173
Went out to recce the damage from the storms. Down the Darn Scamble (nee Path) and a route round the hills from the pipe bridge then towards B of A - having to scale devastation in the river valley and then hop into someone's garden to avoid the chasm on Old Glen Road - how trashed is this road - so long for the excellent non-traffic commuter route between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan.
Alas....
Blue car broke down this aft on way to a walk. Good job it's now and not next week! Looks like degraded fuel lines....

Run just before lunch after a morning of biking and playparks with Matthew (bumped into Dixie recce'ing routes for the Dunblane Urban race).
Toiling again and light-headed. Enjoyed the further bit into no-man's land.
Very muddy everywhere.
