Night O at Abbey Craig - 4.9km. Another shocking performance at AC: I was total mince, all over the place. Went from #5 to #6 via #13 and #9 - oops...
Hamstring didn't like the long tarmac route to #1, and I was slow in the rough terrain. Frequently bamboozled by the multitudinous forks and loops, kept losing my place! Great new map, though.
Pizza and chat at Corrieri's afterwards, always good. TRIMP 159.1.

EUOC Big Weekend SoSOL 1, Holyrood Park, Blue Course (7.3 km, 335 m). 67:26 moving time. Pretty lacklustre effort - legs quite tired after yesterday and back/hamstring protesting from the off, so all the downhills were taken very slowly. Still, I'd have posted a respectable time had I not had a complete brain fade en route to #11 and lost 5 mins (!!) on a 1:15 leg. My only other significant error, 90s+, was in going the wrong way (east) around the south side of Dunsapie Loch.
A grand course with 1:5000, 1:7500, Micro-O at 1:1000, and 1:7500 maps versions of the map, making the most of an otherwise well-kent area.
TRIMP 153.

Running race (Hill race) 1:05:59 10.26 km (6:26 / km) +440m 5:18 / km
ahr:156 max:167 shoes: VJ Irocs
Leg 3 of the DB's relay, 11km +410m. Strava says 1:01:29 moving time.
A late switch of partner from Jase to Ben P. 240m straight up the hill from the start was great as it took us up out of the cold mist into a spectacular cloud inversion. Awesome! I felt great on the climb, too, but poor Ben suffered and his legs were kaput for most of the rest of the run, which made for an easy outing for me, with some stops. Loved the cheeky 90m climb up onto the Lomonds and even the uphill finish, although my hamstring/back really didn't think much of the descent to Maspie Den, even in joggy/self-preservation mode. If only there were more uphill-only races. Sitting in the cold river for 10 minutes after finishing seemed to help.
Anyway. It was fabulous to be back on the hills. Hooray hooray hooray! TRIMP 172.5.
