With dc before Crathes.
6 PM

Orienteering (Grampian - Crathes) 36:00 [3] 4.5 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black

Bit of a blast. Lost a couple of minutes at the control with the wrong code. Probably the only code I really checked and happened to be wrong.

Even got dc on one split :-) Would have been happy with 34 anyway.

Tuesday Aug 23, 2011 #

11 AM

Core & Strength 40:00 [3]
shoes: Reebok Premier RoadPlus

30 mins skate ski pyramid and some other s&c stuff.
6 PM

Trail / Terrain Run 30:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 27

With k.
Thought we'd try Newmillhill. Ok whilst sticking to the tracks but forestry workings rather messed up the last 10 minutes spent in the east end. Pretty steady until I could barely keep up up the last hill...a result of the skate-ski at lunchtime rather than the speed of my companion.... With all due respect.

Monday Aug 22, 2011 #

12 PM

Core & Strength 35:00 [3]

Free weights, stretching etc.

ahr:152 max:175 shoes: Jalas Black

Actual 8.1k, 282m climb
Too high at 1, hesitant at 3, poor route through bracken to 6. After that enjoyed some fun head to head stuff with CR and DMcD and another, particularly out in the open. Banana at 11. Enjoyable.
C • Bracken to #6 2

Road Bike 1:53:23 [3] 46.27 km (2:27 / km) +512m 2:19 / km
ahr:139 max:169

Glen Dye, AA box, Finzean, up and over by Corsedarder, Ballogie, Potarch, then up again to Shooting Greens, Strachan and the back road back to Banchory.
Was intending loop of Cairn O'Mount and Slug Road but seemed a bit breezy early on and wimped out.

Friday Aug 19, 2011 #

4 PM

Trail 30:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 27 (b/y)

Not feeling 100% but steady spin round Crathes with littlest wee'n was just the job. Crathes is the most cracking place on the planet for a varied run come rain or shine. It's never boring. It's a privilege to have it just down the road.

Thursday Aug 18, 2011 #

Note
(rest day)

Not feeling great, nor was at Mullach particularly so day off.

Wednesday Aug 17, 2011 #

Orienteering race (Grampian - Mullach) 41:15 [3]
shoes: Jalas Black

Sluggish but reasonably enjoyable although Mullach isn't the most stimulating of places. Needs the veg redoing anyway. Clean enough but worryingly slow. Blown away by shminty and possibly others. Just like old times, going o'ing with the kids.

Tuesday Aug 16, 2011 #

Trail / Road Run 44:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 27

Hazlehead loop. Spotted RW in the distance and slowly reeled him in. Finished with the extra piece up Anderson drive. Nice day.

11 AM

Trail / Terrain Run 53:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Pegasus 27

With c.
Scolty car park up to the deer gate, over the top, over Hill of Gauach and back. struggling to keep up...no surprises there then. Nice run, no sign of buzzers of previous years up there.

Friday Aug 12, 2011 #

7 AM

Mtn Bike 1:12:00 [3] 28.0 km (2:34 / km)

It's been a while so steady spin to work on the DR. August but pretty cold on the extremities. Should have worn better gloves and overshoes.
4 PM

Mtn Bike 1:12:00 [3] 28.0 km (2:34 / km)

Would have liked a negative split but given that there was a headwind and it's uphill I'll settle for that. Back home.

Note

Comment on the 6 day.
When you read so many positive comments about the whole 6 day experience it certainly makes the effort that goes into the planning and organising seem so very worthwhile. The toil of regularly driving back and forth to Connel and tagging/checking control sites high on Ardchattan in the cold wind and driving rain, even snow for some, seems a very distant memory. I'd prefer to remember Saturday and reflect on photos lilke GEs on the MAROC website. Roll on next time.

Note

Another 6 day over.
Running not right, need to work out why.

Planning over. Big effort. ELTs pretty much spot on for most courses. Good fun in its own way but too much trekking back and forth.
8 AM

Terrain 1:00:00 [3]

Wakingup controls at Ardchattan. Weather good, just what was needed although low cloud would have provided more of a challenge.

Deploying SI units and doing other bits and pieces at Ardchattan. Long day.
