Mortlich from home, then back via Coull, far side of Aboyne loch and the railway. Feeling surprisingly strong, especially on the hills. Sat in the Dess Burn ice bath on the way back for a few mins. Good.

First time in ages that I've managed to run all the way from the gate to the top of Mortlich (mind over matter).

From Inver, headed out west on the Glen Slugain track and back the same way. Nice ride. E going not too badly after major wingeing before the ride.

Long run with J to kickstart my GWC campaign. From Potties up towards S Greens, loop round some of the tracks then out onto Tom's Cairn. Down to the road at Corsedarder and back by the roads down Glen Cat. Steady plod. A few niggles but generally ok.

Was late, but managed to do a short session.

Forgot to take my kit in to work. No harm in another day of recovery.

Much needed

Middle distance at Inchmarnoch. Very scrappy start (lost time on 2-4) then got my act together a bit better. Still never felt as smooth and controlled as I should be through the terrain - more hack and hope. Legs felt pretty good muscle-wise, but left knee and tendons niggling again. Good race.

Mainly w-u, but jogged back to the cp after, feeling quite good - strange!

Completley and utterly whacked now. Not sure tomorrow's going to be very productive at work. Great w/e though.

Checking controls for the MBO at Scolty. My body really wasn't impressed with my head for this cunning little scheme. All seems a bit surreal now and a long time ago. Single track bits were even trickier that I had anticipated but I guess it was fun in a strange kind of way. Well knackered by the time I'd run backwards and forwards from home with 2 trailer loads of bikes too. Ready for a sleep more than a sprint!

Banchory sprint race. Had a cat nap in the car in the quarantine zone and felt surprisingly refreshed. Was still a bit of a plod round the course though. Slow away from the start, but otherwise no real errors, just a few hesitations. Good course.

Sore left knee and inner ankle tendons. Eased off once I had warmed up.
