Afternoon jog round the woods to loosen up, first 2/3 with E. Legs sore on the downhill, and tired on the up, but could be worse. Snow / sleet cleared up nicely.

Quads v tight.
Calfs not too bad and rollered.

Devils Burdens last leg run with JK. Great run and a good pairing - pushing each other all the way but never dropping badly. J getting ahead on the flatter bits, but managing to hold my own on the steeper climb and boggy stuff. Surprised to catch the MV50 team of DS and MN at the foot of the descent. Then realised the sole had come off my R shoe and my calfs were cramping as I climbed the fence. Lost the race to the finish from there, but it was probably better for their pride ;-))
3rd ladies team behind HBT and Carnethy - can't ask more than that ;-)

p.s. somehow Ochils FV team must have passed us coming off the hill and took a minute out before the finish - a bit frustrating as we'd worked hard to overtake them on the climb. Would be good to know what the optimal descent route is - thought we'd done well going left of the trees.

Bits and bobs of jogging around before the start. Adrenalin was pumping so didn't need as much w-u as sometimes.

Easy round the woods. Legs still feeling heavy on the hills, but hopefully will feel brighter tomorrow for the DB.

DNC at Potarch. Great technical course and doing some nice O in parts. Unfortunately, too many parts when I wasn't. Overshot 2, attacked 6 off the wrong crag, then shambled 12 and 14. Not to mention a few other wobbles. Really enjoyed most of it despite that.

Up to the start.

Out early to finish off checking sites at Sluie. Much more enjoyable in the dry. Out for 80' ish.

Easy week planned
