VHI relays at Coull. 4.8 km, nice terrain. Running last leg. Liz came back in the lead, so a bit of pressure. Ran steady and clean most of the way, but panicked a bit when things didn't make sense at the last-but-2. Lost about a minute and a half there and was pleased to get away before the chasing pack arrived. From there it was a fast romp down the hill and across the golf course to finish. Had less than a minute to spare in the end.

VHI, Birsemore Hill (Deeside). Brown, 7.8 km/315m. Great terrain and a good course. Really enjoyed it. Quite a few changes of pace and terrain type. A solid run. Just a couple of hesitations (30 sec?) and maybe should have gone left of the hill on 10 as lost a minute or so there. Was feeling slow physically, though, especially on the hills (quite a sting in the tail, climbing way up through the bouldery stuff near the end).

BL with the crowd, then off with Tim on his Coffin Route extension. Good to get a decent run in as have barely run for weeks. Very fun and even rain-free. Got caught in the bracken a bit on the descent and ended up finishing in the dark. Didn't feel too speedy, but hopefully it was enough to wake the running legs up for the weekend.
