Too stubborn to rest so moved down to M50S for the rest of the week...
Balfour Forest M50S, 13th place. Winner Rob Campbell 45:14.
Might have hobbled into the top 10 but lost a bunch of time at #11. Can accept that I was looking at where I was putting my foot more than was looking at the map, but less easy to excuse how long it took to relocate once I did look at the map...

I wasn't paying enough attention to route on the descent so we got a bit caught in bracken for a few mins.
PF not great this morning and my heel really didn't like the descent down the stony track at the end, not much fun. Time for some rolling of a frozen water bottle under my foot I think!

Note
(rest day)
About 4-5kg heavier than I was two months ago, don't think I will be exactly excelling at the 6-day somehow!

Running 41:33 8.24 km (5:02 / km) +81m 4:48 / km
ahr:127 max:144 shoes: Brooks Ghost Mar 2017
Home knackered but in time for a gentle run in the remnants of a glorious evening. Kept it reasonably short because of foot but too nice to avoid run altogether. A little brisker for the section (or should that be segment) at the far end.

Haven't done this for a few years and didn't do too well last time I did it....didn't do too well this time either!
Struggling a little right from the start, and Hollie and Charlotte came past once we crossed the burn and got onto the climb proper. Jase slowly reeled me in too and was past before the top of The Law, had nearly a minute on me by the top of Ben Cleuch.
Persevered but as ever in a hill race I lost a few places on the descents, made some back on the short climb to Andrew Gannel but it is a long descent to the finish so lost them all again. Had a gap ahead and behind near the end which was relaxing.....or would have been had I not then taken a bad line for the last bit of the descent and started to think Hugh B might be closing in! Fortunately no harm done :)
New record for Kris as Kris-GG-Spongey-Jonny and Hollie-Charlotte dominated the prizes for the GB team. Steve F in 6th and third FVO runner wasn't far behind Jonny either.
Big FVO turnout - ten runners plus Fanni, Kirsten and Shminty spectating, and Gareth and Catriona marshalling.

shoes: Brooks Ghost Mar 2017
Starts at the spectator race are 1200-1400 so walked down. Followed the river to avoid the WOC embargo, only to find myself going through the start, on the riverbank outside the embargo area!
Orienteering race 15:55 [5] 3.29 km (4:50 / km) +13m 4:45 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost Mar 2017
A bit of persuasion at registration and a bit more in the start system and I ended up with an M50 map, a bit of slithering round wet slippery parkland in road shoes later and I was at the finish, a bit more persuasion at download and there I was on the M50 results!
Time shows as 10secs too long (16:05 not 15:55) but still good enough for 2nd place, although well down on the winner - Patrick Kunz from Switzerland who ran 14:38.
Running 15:49 [3] 2.68 km (5:54 / km) +12m 5:46 / km
