Compass Sport Cup, Scottish Round, Beecraigs.
A really tough long middle race round a tough central Scotland forest! Caught by Ray Ward at the road crossing (after the fell-run start) and we worked well together thereafter - him pulling away on the longer path sections, me going cleaner in and out of most controls. Not the cleanest run (a few misses and put off by some questionable control placings and mapping but all-in-all an enjoyable, tough, day out.
Needless to say FVO are through to the final! :-)

Scottish Sprint Champs, Stirling Uni South.
Prologue. Forest sprint! Love it! But lacked any real speed.

Scottish Sprint Champs - Leg 2 - Stirling Uni North.
No energy but buoyed by the the thought of trying to chase Housewife. That wasn't to be - she went off like a frightened deer and in the end beat me! Not helped by failing to punch the finish (having borrowed an SI AIR and forgetting what to to do - thanks Sarah.
Enough for an M45 win, behind Ray and Claire thanks to Ben for completely missing the last control ! Miserable weather day.

Joining in with some of the stuff with the PS Running Club.
They were a proper rabble today. Not helped by me being a numpty in the explanation game.

Gathering Stone Loop in frustration (bad day at work). Decided to run in as much snow as possible and get the highest workout. Took my mind off my incompetent Manager (now I know why people in the field think I am HIS manager!!!).

Slushy run in the snow.

SNH Pilates - not normally on when I can make it.

FVO Stretching & Strengthening.
Very tired and hungry! But pleased the wait is slowly coming off.
