WIth IanW and MarkT
To Midstrath stables then through pretty thick snow at times up the horse track and what would have been a deer trod (but for the snow) up to the Toms Cairn gate. Up to Toms Cairn and then straight on to Shooting Greens. Deeside Way then Birkenhill Farm and home.
Lovely running conditions - bright sun and nice snow on high. Good fun.

Local loops round the fields up the back then tracks, fire breaks and deer trods through dead bracken in various parts of Potties wood. Brilliant weather. Nice and steady and great to be out. Great time of year for it when the weather isn't Baltic.

Trail 2:23:07 [3] 25.2 km (5:41 / km) +375m 5:17 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Guiding for RTH.
Balmoral 15 pretty much although starting and finishing at Easter Balmoral, and missing out the sting in the tail for lack of time at the end.
JH, ultrarunner from Rutland. Good pace throughout, although she needed to walk a couple of the hills at the back of Ripe Hill. Good company with tales of various Ultra races (Atacama and Gobi Desert Marathons, Trans-Rockies etc) (and F1) in different parts of the world.
Turned into a lovely day with a fair bit of sun and not even that much snow or particularly cold out on the moor. Plenty deer out.
Pleased with how it went..No stomach issues.

Trail race (Potarch Headtorch race) 44:07 [5] 8.3 km (5:19 / km) +184m 4:47 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Sort of pleased with this .. but not
Went well enough on the long track out and was where I kind of wanted to be with usual folk ahead and behind. Kept SaraH in sight all the way up to the trig and just about caught her at the foot of the second, and rougher, climb. She probably had 5s on me at the top but that's when a really bad stitch set in. HazelW went past whilst I was barely moving, but soon after the stitch wore off so spent the whole of the long track on the way back trying to catch her...and failing. Think it probably cost me a minute judging from respective speeds through kilometres 6, 7 and 8.
Don't usually get stitches.

Orienteering race (DNC #13 Scolty) 34:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Forest very cut up by forest monsters and muddy after the recent deluges. Nice and steady with no major misses but a fair bit of standing about in the vicinity and looking about.
Better this week and hence more enjoyable.

Trail 30:00 [3]
Aboyne Academy RC
Bit of a walking wounded session today. Two dropouts after the first loop and an invalid case late on. Unusual. Rather disrupted things.
Felt somewhat damaged myself but fortunately nothing appears significant.

Trail race 1:40:04 [4] 21.1 km (4:45 / km) +160m 4:34 / km
shoes: Inov8 RaceUltra
Forfar Multi-terrain Half
More of a cross country race in large parts as a result of the puddles and muddy, very slippery tracks.
Started off in a serious hail storm. That fortunately stopped fairly soon but the underfoot conditions got worse from 7 or 8k onwards. Sore right adductor towards the end, no doubt down to the slipping about all over the shop. Should have worn Mudclaws. Happy enough though given the conditions.
Interesting way of running a half though and the food spread after was worth all the effort.
