SoSOL at Devilla. Brown, 9.9 km. A tough forest, but plenty to think about. Started well - ran with Rosco for a while, then he pulled away as I made some bad route choices and got hung up in the veg on the next few legs. Lost momentum after that, slow round to the left on the long leg 17 and maybe a minute each on 18 and 19. All in all, not a bad run, though. Felt thoroughly spent at the end.

A re-run of yesterday's PWT prologue. 2.6 km around Scone Palace. It was a great area to run around and very tricky to read all the bushes/trees at speed - and you needed to keep track of them or you were lost. Had a pretty hopeless run, losing 4-5 minutes, including running straight past the finish punch. One of those days!

PWT final course around Perth town centre. 2.1 km. This was intense, not because it was super-technical but there were just so many decisions, twists and turns packed into a short course (25 controls with only around 5 splits over a minute). Had a good, clean run. Enjoyed watching the elite race (winner was Oystein Kvaal Osterbo in 14:22). They made a good show of it in the sunshine.
