Orienteering race 52:11 **** 6.85 km (7:37 / km) +165m 6:48 / km
ahr:151 max:161 spiked:18/23c shoes: VJ Irocs
SOL1, Mugdock, Short Brown (5.6km +245m). Steady and unspectacular, which must count as a decent run by my standards. Slow on the first two and lost a minute on #18, otherwise wasn't pushing and hence wasn't really making mistakes. Would have been happier with just sub-50 but I'd still have been 5th regardless.
Surprisingly, it has been ages since I last ran at Mugdock. It was a bit muddy and boggy, but varied and lots of fun. The difference between my last map (1997 vintage) and the Lidar print from 2016 is phenomenal!
TRIMP 122.8.

ahr:136 max:155 shoes: Inov-8 O-Roc 250 (2)
South Achray adventure, checking out the Black (and White!) course for the Double Dukes middle with Jase and Rog. The rain stopped as we arrived - happy days! Such a good O area, albeit a tad soggy. :-) Great way to start the weekend. TRIMP 109.3.
Garmin completely died just as we got back to the camp and seems to be as dead as a doornail. RIP faithful old 305.

Elliptigo (Turbo Trainer) 34:01
ahr:142 max:163 shoes: Elliptigo
Short time window; intervals on the Elliptigo it is, then. Was to be 2 sets of 3x3(1) but the legs simply weren't up to it, so I modified it to 3x3(1), 3x2(1) and 3x1(1), with the intent to increase cadence as the reps shortened. Yeah, well! Worked pretty hard, anyway. Definite rest day tomorrow - Pizza Friday at work! TRIMP 63.1.

Running (Hills) 1:07:48 11.02 km (6:09 / km) +413m 5:11 / km
ahr:154 max:169 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser
Missing a sunny day is a shame, missing two in a row is a crime. So it was that I couldn't help but go run up Dumyat. Parked at the Abbey Craig car park, ran clockwise around the uni before heading up. Very slimy and slippery - the old Fellraisers were a poor choice. Set a steady grind to the top, then slithered along the ridge to the top car park; down through the terrain to Hermitage woods, then along the top before heading down to Pathfoot and across the playing fields. Massive fun. Hamstring no more than a background ache - bonus. TRIMP 168.0.

Gym (Vario) 30:01
ahr:142 max:158
Far too nice a day to be indoors, but my L knee isn't up to running today. XT program, dialled a bit back on the effort level (12-14). TRIMP 56.4.
Gym (Cardio) 10:08
ahr:147 max:160
Then intervals at a high cadence on the Synchro. TRIMP 21.1.

Strength training (Pilates) 40:00 [1]
weight:66kg
Positively rammed tonight, had to practice synchronised Pilates on the mat with Neil. Having a lefty (me) and a righty (Neil) on the same mat is a recipe for slapstick comedy if not accidental bloodshed.
7 PM
Strength training (Circuits) 20:00 [2]
Two rounds of Roger-randomly timed 30/5 (continuous). Grumbly knees, and the lump behind my left one was particularly "problematic", as Mordin would say.
