+Nordic Hamstrings
+SB Hamstring Draws (SL)
+SL Deadlifts
+Prone Heel Flicks (75-105 degree range) - focus on kick towards bum

From Fasic to Lothian Road to shop for trainers: Not good to be wearing MudClaws on the streets
Only managed to find one pair of road / trail hybrids I was happy with.

Flexibility (Rocket Yoga) 1:30:00
Second and probably last class with Dimitri before he goes back to Spain.
At least 15 mins longer than it was supposed to be.
Although weaker and less flexible after the gaps since my last class I could feel that my balance was slightly better. Starting to feel much more confident with Headstand.

Orienteering 13:00 [3] **
spiked:26/27c shoes: Inov-8 MudClaw 300 (Yellow)
ESOC CATI @ Lauriston Castle
I knew the areas was a bit small for a normal score, so if my knee was OK I'd have added difficulty / distance (e.g. as per my suggestion for AndrewD to do hit the controls in numerical order).
Since I'd little more than plodded around, I was v. surprised to be top of the results board afterwards (Andy was much quicker but didn't punch when doing optimal score)

Orienteering 23:20 [3] ** 3.2 km (7:17 / km)
spiked:17/20c shoes: Inov-8 MudClaw 300 (Yellow)
Cruise around a great little (free) course by Paul Caban around George Square and East end of the Meadows.
Probably sped up a bit in the later stages without thinking about it ... other people around bringing out the racing mode a little.
1. Slow to get my head into the Map.
2. Only realised afterwards that I'd 'cheated' - missed the CD saying "inside" fence corner, so I skipped about 30m of going around.
10. Failure to play my exit from 9 led to picking to slower (West gate) of two routes.
11. Edge of map (not the clearest CD)- Ran 10m past the control
12. OK but I think I was one of very few taking the west RC
18. Went south, but thinking N was a touch shorter.
Garmin upload not working (getting to 92% repeatedly)

In awe, but not surprised that murraystraining showed up to run this a warm down after winning yet another Meadows race!
