Hung the last controls for training at Inchmarnoch and picked a few up after. Feeling tired and had too many clothes on to move at any speed.

Control hanging and collecting for TS training at Ballater.
1. Hanging emit for middle distance on Allt Cailleach. Right knee started twingeing badly. Some new thinning near the start but good course and forest still nice.
2. Picked up kites from the bouldery bit on the E side of Glen Muick. Was about 5m from a huge red stag before it moved off. Tricky wee exercise.
3. Hanging loop on Craigendarroch. A bit exciting in places but really nice. Walked pretty much all of this.

Had a good stretch while waiting for everyone at Craigendarroch.

Checking remaining sites at LoB. Put up several hundred geese and a couple of lapwing from the assembly fields. Stayed dry and out of the wind in the forest. Out for ~2h

Same as last Sat - 3 x 5 x 1'+1' on the DW up from the bridge. Was expecting this to be as bad as the last time, but actually felt ok once I got going and distances were back to normal. Felt like a good aerobic effort as was still breathing hard at the end of the recovery. Happy with this.

15' w-u, jog back between sets and 5' w-d.

Very tired this morning. Went for a recovery run in Aboyne along the river then back through Lady Wood. Felt better for it.

Finished off with a few bf laps of the school playing field. Feet have been cramping badly recently and want to see if this will help sort them out again. Cold but nice tingly feet.

With DR on the green. 2 x long (~5'+2') and 4 x short (~2:30' +1'). Still feeling pretty crap so this session was tough, bu managed to work through it. Skipped an extra 2 at the end that everyone else did.

Long route to the green and back. Getting dropped on the w-u - never a good sign.

Feeling rubbish and grumpy, so just went for a wee jog round the woods. Running was still rubbish but in better humour after.
