Event: SOL 2 - Polmaise, Sauchie Crags & North Third
 

SOL2, Sauchie and Polmaise. Black, 9.4 km. This was a great area, map and course - very enjoyable. Even the rain only came mid-course when it was welcome. Two contrasting areas of woodland with quite a bit of technical challenge joined by some deadish running. Felt like I was runnng well, but some mistakes creeping in. None more than a minute or two, but at least 5 mins total, all down to losing contact mid-leg.

Event: Erskine Urban Race
 

Erskine urban race - long, 7.1 km. This was superb. One vast suburban maze! Very hard to look at the big picture when you had to read the twists and turns all the way. It was easy to suddenly lose it. Going well for the first two thirds then getting tired and losing concentration - skipped 18 and had to backtrack, then misread the approach to 21 and had to backtrack. Ended up as a mispunch as my SI didn't register 21 for some reason.

Pulpit Hill over the tops to Dun Ormidale with the Beinn Lora crowd then tasty soup at Tim and Lucy's. A fun evening.

Intervals was a steady run from Atlantis to Dunbeg via Ganavan and the bike path, then pushing the pace on the way back. Tried to alternate half miles hard/recovery on the way back.

5 x half mile hard.
