Orienteering 38:16 4.81 km (7:57 / km) +195m 6:37 / km
ahr:135 max:145 shoes: Inov-8 MudClaw 300 (Yellow)

Very enjoyable Score at Faskally.
Since I got them all so quickly, it's obviously too small an area for a normal score course. Still, enjoyed the run. Aware of quad / knee tightness from time to time, but as per the last month or so, absolutely none of the knee jabs that had plagued me nearly every outing over the previous year.

Overran a tad a 72.
Very minor potential route choice improvements fairly obvious on another 2.

Passed Mr Woods near no 71, surrounded by folk helping him. Broken arm / collar bone maybe?

Bike 17:50 4.86 km (3:40 / km) +26m 3:34 / km
ahr:137 max:159

Ride to Figgate.
Feeling fairly stiff and lacking pedal power.

Run race 20:22 5.15 km (3:57 / km) +33m 3:50 / km
ahr:143 max:155 shoes: Brooks Pure Grit 5 (Black + Re

Parkrun (aka kraPrun) - Official Time 19.08
Fail on stopping my watch on the line.

Went along with the intention of a a steady tempo (say 22.30 pace) but after getting through the first KM in a fairly spritely time, despite the 'traffic', I decided I'd give it a little push.

GPS suggests the course is c100-150m over distance, KM splits for 5km add up to 18.40, so I'm all the happier to officially get within 1 minute of my 4 year old PB (18.15)

Bike 25:00 4.4 km (5:41 / km) +84m 5:11 / km
ahr:134 max:155

Ride home from Figgate Park
Glutes reminding me of Thursdays gym session with every single leg push!

Part recce of (first half of) course for Dumyat hill race in a week's time.
