Trail / Road Run 45:47 [3] 8.73 km (5:15 / km) +242m 4:36 / km

Mount Stuart to Rothesay. Nice day, lovely views.
Out the north gate, up to NE end of Loch Ascog. Down Serpentine Road round all the bends into Rothesay, then back up it via the direct steps. Never knew a road like this existed in Scotland. On up Captains Hill and over to Craigmore via Eastlands Road then back.
Good tempo.

Warm up/down 15:00 [3]

Back and forth to Craigmore pier waiting for T's bus.

Needed messages.
To Kinca via Craigmore trig, Potties bridge and Deeside Way. Back via steading at top of Sluie and through the wood to the bridge then via lower track through Potties.

Note

Thistles and docks. Too many but now a few less.

Note

Wander over the hill with T to sample the reopened Potties and back by the road. 50 mins there, 40 back. Impeccable coffee and scone service from JoshD.

Trail / Terrain Run 43:10 [3] 5.4 km (8:00 / km) +137m 7:06 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Torqu, then Craigmore, road loop. Straight through the grot on the south side. Mistake. Need to identify / make, a better way through some of that stuff. Hadn't had enough to eat either. Hard work!

Trail 2:00:00 [3] 16.18 km (7:25 / km) +818m 5:55 / km

Mourre Negre from Cuceron.
Headed up at 7am to avoid the heat. Was in cool shady forest almost all the way up. Views of Mont Ventoux, the Alps and the Med in the other direction from the summit at 1088m. Not another soul around. Much more rapid trip back down for breakfast.

Orienteering race (French Day 5) 55:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Better today.
Chasing start but didn't see a soul on my course. Binned 10 mins in the rock pillars but enjoyed it way more than yesterday. 8th overall and top Brit by a decent margin. Some good folk ahead. Could have been better but also could have been a huge amount worse. Plenty of problems for a lot of very capable folk in all classes over the last couple of days.

Orienteering (French Day 4) 1:15:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Impossible.
Way too difficult for me and my orienteering.
Me and plenty others.
My eyesight and colour blindness would have to be way better to be even remotely competitive.
Even stood within 1m of a control and couldn't see it.
Middle distance with expected winning time of 30 mins. Noone under 50. Long distance in samr area tomorrow :-)

Touristy rest day.
8th overall after (3rd), 17th, 8th, 6th

Orienteering (French Day 3) 36:20 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Middle Race
One of the trickiest courses I've ever done. Low visibility veg throughout and rarely runnable for long. So much care needed.
Happy to be 3-4 mins down on TrondR and SorenJ in that stuff.

Orienteering (French Day 2) 48:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Much better but again a huge error at 9. 12 mins for a 4 min leg and ended up 4 mins down. Rock pillars covered in fight. Not the only one to come to grief in this bit. Didn't think to go into the green as didnt look like it on the map.
Still..running well and gained 5 places. Frustrated as could have been so much better but that's Orienteering I guess :-)

Orienteering (French Day 1) 1:14:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r

Two major disasters and 17th.
Lovely technical stuff but blew it big time at 9 in area of rock pillars. Couldn't figure it out but must have been within about 5m first time around. Then similar sized error at 11 on the vague slope.
Hmmm...

Orienteering (Prologue) 13:24 [3] 2.9 km (4:37 / km) +23m 4:27 / km

Prologue Sprint in Nant.
Short, sharp and not greatly challenging but fun. Hot too.
A couple of bananas but nothing too significant. Maybe 3rd, 10s ahead of KevH...no final results yet.
Nice that T, broken elbow and all, got round without bouncing off anyone or anything.

Orienteering (Training map) 45:00 [3]

Left visiting the training area until cooler time late on. Long grass, rough rock and a fair bit of fight. 10 year old map too. Very tricky.

Thursday Jul 7, 2016 #

Trail / Terrain Run 42:00 [3] 7.0 km (6:00 / km) +80m 5:41 / km

Caracassonne. Circuit of the old city including exploring a few dead ends then back down and out and back along the river. 33 degrees.
Quite a night after...Les Bleus vs Allemagne and all its atmosphere and trappings.

Tuesday Jul 5, 2016 #

Trail / Terrain Run 50:29 [3] 7.7 km (6:33 / km) +220m 5:44 / km
shoes: Roclite 295

Up the back to Torqu and Craigmore. Bracken has taken over.
Feeling good now...still slight knee soreness.

On the way back from the canal.
