Stopped off in Anagach on the way home. Fairly relaxed intervals 1/1, if such a thing is possible, whilst T ran steadily. No idea how many...8-10 I guess.

In need of a rest

Maol Chean-dearg (933) from Coulags Bridge with T. Tops clear just about and hill completely to ourselves. Great Torridon views. Out for about 5.30.

Evil day. Running through puddles for half of it. Colder wind now too. Over to Balmacara and back. Proud of myself for getting out in it. Nice paths though and would be a lovely rain when not in lashing rain. Feeling ok and legs loosening a bit. Need to do some hamstring stretches mind.

Achnandarach via Loch Achaidh na h-Inich up to the mast on Carn a ' Bhealaich Mhoir. Steep and slow but great middle distance views over Plockton and beyond. Serious DOMS. Ran most of it with T.

Poor weather forecast for later in the week so in spite of early morning rain went for it and really glad we did.

With T. From near Doruduain near Morvich. Fiery colours. Benin Fhada (1032) via Alt Choinneachain. Constantly changing cloud but clear on top. Dropped back down then an impromptu decision to head up A'Ghlas-Bheinn (918) from Bealach an Sgairne since the weather was grand. Great late afternoon light and views. Struggled through the thick forest on the way down hoping the fading light would last long enough. Top day but knackered after the weekend. Out for 7.5 hrs. Saw very few folk in that time.

Pre SOL

Runners course. Three or four TD5 legs, although one additional long route choice leg to be fair. Disappointing.

Didn't make any nav errors just found the going very tough and difficult to predict. Crossing the marsh twice just to count rides in the chequerboard was a real waste. Could have been so much better. Still, hamstring pretty much held up for third race in two days.. Not to mention the achilles.. Oh yes held up for the ceilidh too.

Great weekend all round.
