FVO Night event, Dunblane. First run for a month, and I was also pretty stiff after three days' sitting in rubbish chairs at a training course, so I started off very steadily. By the time I got through the butterflies the speedies had long disappeared. Then the course developed into a series of legs with decent route choices, which was lots of fun. I kept up a nice relaxed pace, and was happy enough with that. No real mistakes apart from a 10s miss at #17, then I tripped and banged my knee on a rock on the way into #18. It took me a couple of minutes to get going again after that - it was a slow hobble back to the finish. Ice pack time.
Great fun, great turnout, even including a guest appearance by the elusive Ms. Mudge! TRIMP 118.3.
Day 2 of another week long training course in Glasgow, followed by a lovely dinner catching up with a dear friend from Prague, who's on a flying two-day business trip. Sushi and smiles instead of intervals tonight!
