still bug-ridden..headache..think its leftovers of pre-6-day bug..just can't shift it.
but the good news is we've got our full Scottish M50 Jukola 2010 complement already! That's a real result and plenty to look forward to over the winter!

Some bug..day off but what a waste...was planning on completing Coull planning but didn't feel up to anything at all. At least I could watch the WOC relay. Some of the best 5 euros "entertainment" I've ever had. Both relays incredibly watchable.

At Shooting Greens..not enough wu/wd really.
Trail race (Deeside Runners Handicap) 32:53 [5] 7.22 km (4:33 / km)
max:184 shoes: Asics Gel Trail Sensor
Shooting Greens 4.75 mile red loop.
Got done by the handicapper - why would I have 2 mins more of a handicap than Dave H, and only 40secs less than Alan S? Anyway Alan caught me well before the high point and the turn and rather wasted me on the way back. Robbie S also caught me before the last climb..no surprises there! Shoelace came undone on the steepest downhill but put up with it all the way back.
Seemed to average about 183-4 for heart rate..didn't know I could still hit those heights!
K: 38.50

Corporate Decathlon coaching at Crathes. Limited running
Trail / Terrain Run 42:00 [3]
With K. Scolty car park up and over the top, down usual way and left at junction with main track and then back on paths and tracks. Two sore ankles...need to fix.
Substantial interlude by the summit tower whilst K proceeded to have a major nose bleed. Mopped up with a mix of heather and grass and finally able to continue with K looking like the the victim of a terrorist attack or major accident. Rolled her in the next available puddle somewhat lower down to make things more presentable and ensure I didn't get locked up for some serious form of child abuse.

Gym 30:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Gel Trail Sensor
Still not venturing out to run with the cough and cold so stuck to the tedious stuff. Mainly skate skiing which was appropriate since Gunnar R from Oslo turned up...someone else to bike with at lunchtimes..or golf course ski with in February maybe.

Mtn Bike 1:06:00 [3] 27.8 km (2:22 / km)
Car in garage, inactivity no good, bike to work.
Stuck to quiet early morning roads for the 4.5k to Crathes and then "took the train". Felt competitive so gave it some welly.
Cough seems almost away, cold persisting.

Mtn Bike 1:15:00 [3] 28.2 km (2:40 / km)
Return railway journey all the way from the foot of Springfield Rd to Banchory Morrisons. Bit slower on the uphill journey, partly as almost entirely off-road. Got a bit mucky by way of the puddles at the Banchory end. Explored the "short cut" at Drumoak.

Orienteering race (Day 6 - Loch Ordie) 59:24 [3]
shoes: VJ Twister (2)
Wasn't going to miss this. Fairly straightforward although still contrived to mess up 3. Started to really enjoy it from 4 onwards.
Not a great 6 day competition wise from a personal point of view but would have struggled at the best of times to match some of the speeds being put up in M50!

Decided to miss Day 5 and Barry Buddon. Didn't feel I was in any way up to the speed necessary to remotely enjoy it so finally did the sensible thing. Shame though.

Orienteering race (Day 4 - Tentsmuir) 1:10:31 [3]
shoes: VJ Twister (2)
Same symptoms. Scrappy through the detailed 1-8 losing significant time at a couple - always find broken ground difficult. Toiled through 9, 10 and 11, including poor route along the ditch to 9. Ok through some of the rest and then rather lost it in the green.

Orienteering race (Day 3 Tullochcroisk) 1:14:00 [3]
Pretty grim day weather wise - shame in such a nice location. Early start and feeling no better. Not the greatest thing to be doing really but not about to do the sensible thing and sit "at home".
Enjoyed the forest although lost 60s at 2 by not being far enough down the hill. Caught SS on the way to 5 and then missed although being careful. Don't know why or how but we both relocated from ride junction. Ran straight past the boulder at 8 and then not happy with control positioning at 10. Felt it was much lower down the hill with the result that got the next short leg wrong...I wasn't the only one who felt something strange. Rather lost interest..

Orienteering race (Day 2 Kinnoull) 53:36 [3]
shoes: VJ Twister (2)
Don't know what the other M50s were doing today. Decided to just go for it and hang the thick head. Still no spring and no energy but kept it going although it seemed a long way and was completely shot by the end. Still, almost clean, maybe 90 secs of mistakes and a route choice banana at 16. Couldn't be more surprised to be 4th.

Event: Scottish Six Days Tay 2009
Orienteering race (6 Day -Dalrulzion) 1:06:50 [3]
shoes: VJ Twister (2)
Still a thick head and cold. Couldn't think straight and nothing in the tank. Misses at 2 and 5 and then started heading for 8 from 6. Best forgotten.
