Orienteering race 1:04:49 *** 7.96 km (8:09 / km) +304m 6:50 / km
ahr:150 max:161 spiked:18/22c shoes: Inov-8 O-Roc 250 (2)
SOL Alvie - Blue 6.9km +250m.
Gah. So nearly an excellent run. Not feeling fast, but very solid on the navigation, lying comfortably in 3rd place on the course at #16. Then came the bingo control #17, alas. I already knew the area was nebulous after Beccy's comments, so I pretty much walked on a compass bearing from #16, but missed it 5m to the east and then spent >3 minutes playing hunt the boulder beneath the bracken. I was far from alone in having problems on this one; some did spike it but many others missed it and then were knackered because it was all just below bracken height. Not terribly fair. A bit dispirited after that, but was OK to the finish, just losing confidence a little on #19 and banana'ing the route to #22.
A lovely area and a good run on a very nice course, spoiled only by that one duff control. Oh well! TRIMP 146.8

Orienteering race 47:07 *** 6.75 km (6:59 / km) +225m 5:59 / km
ahr:158 max:169 spiked:16/24c shoes: Salomon Fellraiser
BASOC Wolf Middle at Dunachtonmore. Blue - 5.95km + 225.
Lovely area but a scrappy run from me today. Worried about my dicky left knee, but I kneedn't (ha) have been; as soon as I started running I forgot about it. Minor faffing in the circle at numbers 4, 8 and 17, but larger time loss (2 mins) at #10, when I got distracted by seeing KD coming into #9 from that direction and stopped far too short. Fool. Also lost 50s at penultimate #23, carelessly being dragged too far south.
I really enjoyed it, but left too much time out there. With control flow as sluggish as mine I need to be nailing the controls to be in with a chance of a "respectable" time, particularly after a two-week lay off! TRIMP 133.2.

Elliptigo 37:55 15.29 km (24.2 kph) +106m
ahr:144 max:159 shoes: Elliptigo
No time for longer, but better something than nothing. Very strong SSW wind, comedy gusts that nearly had me in the ditch at one point; moved out into the centre of the lane after that! TRIMP 72.9.

Torrie return. Slow into a headwind all the way - made for a nice wind-assisted return. TRIMP 147.9

Elliptigo 40:00 16.0 km (24.0 kph)
ahr:152 max:173 shoes: Elliptigo
Having purchased a 20" wheel adaptor for the turbo trainer so that I can strap up the ElliptiGo for sessions in wintry weather, it would have been rude not to try it out. Quickly established that I will have no bother getting a good workout - worked hard enough to ensure that I nearly fell off the damn thing at the end! I don't normally listen to tunes when I run, but some garage in the garage made the time pass. Set up for winter :-). TRIMP 95.8.
