Orienteering race 38:35 5.15 km (7:30 / km) +156m 6:31 / km
ahr:153 max:167 shoes: VJ Irocs
Blue course. Should have warmed up! 10 mins before I was moving and navigating properly, can't afford that on a middle - 2 minutes gone by then. Solid enough afterwards. TRIMP 94.3.

Event: Dark Thistle
8 PM
Orienteering race 1:04:22 **** 6.98 km (9:13 / km) +241m 7:52 / km
ahr:156 max:169 shoes: VJ Irocs
Dark Thistle short course (5km). The most gigglesome race of the year so far! Bog, brash, lumpy & squelchy, soft carpet and total ming, with torches here, there and everywhere. Keystone Cops stuff, grinning from ear to ear all the way. Awesome - cheers, all! TRIMP 170.5.
Edit: wrong #10! I see what I did - I took the wrong line from combined control #3/7/11 to combined control #1/4/13 (or whatever). Had my finger over the control number. Easy enough done in the dark, I suppose, but - still, silly mistake.

(rest day)
Forewent tonight's hill reps in order to go to Dounans with B to plan Saturday's string course (oops). TBH I was feeling a bit too rough to do the reps anyway, for some reason.
The Lion and Unicorn in Thornhill still serves excellent vittels!

Running (Trail run) 31:53 6.34 km (5:02 / km) +167m 4:27 / km
ahr:152 max:163 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016
Gathering Stane, standard. In places that felt like actual running. First time for a long while. Progress?
Today's excuse was going to be emergency root canal, but since it was only half my face that was numb post-treatment and my legs were fully functional, I applied rule 5. Glad I did, it was great to get out. Trail not too boggy - fingers crossed for the Trossachs parking field at the weekend! TRIMP 75.1.

Between dropping off the motorbike for its service and entertaining the outlaws for dinner, there just wasn't time. My knees will thank me for it, even if my back doesn't.

Event: Uath Lochans
11 AM
Orienteering 1:02:08 6.03 km (10:18 / km) +110m 9:27 / km
ahr:130 max:160 shoes: VJ Irocs
DNF on the Blue course at Uath Lochans. A fantastic day to be out running in the forest but, alas, I felt like a rattly bag of spanners. Stiff, slow, and with both knees protesting at any significant gradient, it didn't take long for me to start losing concentration, too. I was OK to #6 but then folded my map wrong and ran to #1 rather than #7 - it was on the straight line - and I got into a fluster that saw me stuffing up #7 big time. The lure of the hot shower back at the accommodation - if we got back in time - was sufficient to tempt me into cutting my losses at that point. Shame, but I wasn't in the game today. Cheers to JamesT for putting it on for us, sorry I didn't do the course justice. TRIMP 83.5.
Running warm up/down 7:09 1.08 km (6:37 / km) +27m 5:53 / km
ahr:121 max:133 shoes: VJ Irocs
Stopped when I met Beccy then joined her on a brief hunt for Jamie before jogging back to the Finish.
