Day 1 of WOC Spectator Races - running as Ray Ward, M35.
Unfortunately, things went tits up when I braved going straight on the long leg to 7 - 25 minutes disappeared "just like that".
I really enjoyed the terrain and orienteering - my cup of tea.... with some practice.

A run through the WOC embragoed area to the Middle Qualifier arena.
I managed to see everything and begin my week of screeching!

Event: WOC 2011 + O'Festival Savoie Grand Revard
 

Travelling to WOC.
Landed at Geneva at 10am, thought I had plenty of time to make it 60k to the Long Qualiifier. Little did I know that there's no joined up thinking on transport in Switzerland/France.
Arrive at campsite at 6pm.

The usual lunchtime run, with David. In the pooring rain.
Nettle fest at the top of the hill.
Bring on the sun!

C • very jealous - enjoy! 3

Recceing control sites for the Sheriffmuir WEE at the end of the month. Map is so old and in real need of revision.
Bumped into Ochils and the mighty John Stevenson doing 1 min off/1 min on up Dumyat. He's done 37 races so far. Only 13 to go to his 50 at 50.
Glad to see my car still in the car park given that there were travellers camped out (literally).

A hilly run round the castle with David - he's back!
Great weather and views.

Usual work lunchtime run.
Feeling like I've been in tough terrain for a week!
Not moving too badly though.
