SOL at Cambus. Short brown. Pretty clean to 8, missed 9 by 30", then was too low at 10 (almost off map). Caught by BD at 13 which was a bit distracting but stayed pretty clean until 20 - could see control but didn't think it was mine. Then headed as if running from 21 to 20 - doh. So, a few minutes missed in total. Enjoyed it but tired by the end.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [2]
Lots of running around after kids but not much of a proper warm up as such.
With E from Cambus bridge. Crossed to S Dee and followed the new path through Torphantrick woods and on towards Ballater. Hasn't been surfaced beyond the edge of the woods, but mostly reasonably ridable until joining an old track and fine from there. Back from Ballater by the Deeside Way. Nice wee circuit. Out for a good bit longer in total.
with J from Birsemore road by loch, out to big Birse forestry track, up onto Carnferg, down the back and return by the Fungle. Legs feeling tired from gym (especially quads and calfs) but put my head down and worked steadily up the hill. Run back down felt fine. Although tired, felt kind of solid and strong. Damp and a bit raw.
Will need an easier week next week.
Sprint O at H'head. Great fun - nicely planned. Ran past 9 and had some problems finding the entrance to the maze after 19 ;-{ Once inside ran headfirst into Roger and got my lace tangled in the fence. Lost ~1' to RH on the leg. Looking at the map again now, am pretty sure there's an error in the map of the maze too - might have to be really sad and go and check one lunchtime! Map would benefit from a sprint spec re-survey too. Good blast though.
6.5 x 2' + 1' with DR round the 2 bridges. Broken up by cutting a couple short to chum E, so did an extra 2 on the end. Felt like I was moving pretty well.

To start of intervals and back from end at a brisk pace set by E on the bike.
