Happy that the C course was shorter on day 2. Felt surprisingly bright and the hill run went well. Good hard frost on the ground helped and runnability was generally better than day 1 too. Managed to fluff a few minutes on the O section - amazing how hard it is to orienteer when you're knackered - but didn't make any difference to placings. Overall really enjoyed the whole event.

Grampian Mountain Challenge. Excuse for a couple of days in the hills and an escape from responsibility. Packed my kindle and a big bag of goodies as well as plenty of warm kit.
Went pretty well as far as the top of Battock and was up with the C class leaders there, but then started to suffer my usual 3 hour cramp problems and lost time over the last hour. Great day - cold but bright and sunny - and just nice to be out in the hills. Good social atmosphere at the mid point camp and a comfortable enough night in the tent.

Short trot round the woods. Saving myself for GMC this w/e.

Busy, busy and tired too.

Morning run in Reading. Made the mistake of leaving the campus and had to laugh at "wilderness road" with a big queue of standing traffic on it. Campus was pleasant enough.

Warm-up round the woods with E on his bike. Short jog along the track after hill reps.

3 x reps of the big hill from the bridge to top of DW. 5:09, 5:08, 5:11 with 5' jog back between. Good bit quicker than last time so happy with that.
