HMM Day 2 C class. A much easier course today on the north side of the road back to Glenfinnan - same start as for LAMM 2008. Much more runnable than day 1 and much less up / down over ridges. Went really well until descending off the hill from the 2nd last control when I tripped and somehow went badly over my left ankle (opposite one from previous sprain). Big crunch and I knew I was in trouble. Took a long time to get down from there with lots of yelping every time I caught my foot or slipped a bit, but somehow made it down and back along the track. Really frustrated and disappointed that I'd let Marie down right at the end, but much to our surprise we'd held onto our overnight 3rd spot. Glorious day with lots of blue sky and great views.
4 weeks to recover before the Scottish / British and 7 until Jukola. Want to focus on getting it sorted properly.

HMM Day 1 C class with Marie in Moidart. Good steady race. Really tough going and virtually no running. Some very interesting navigation through the cloud on leg 1-2, sitting on my compass the whole way. Cloud cleared out after a couple of hours to give great weather and some fantastic views out over Eigg and Rhum as well as the mountain. Lovely ridge run in the middle too.
Really surprised to be so far up the field (3rd overnight)- just shows if you keep going in the right direction. A tough C course. Hope Marie doesn't hate me too much for not letting her stop for a rest;-))

Thought about a wee jog, but never quite happened. R+R just as useful.

Short lap of the woods / fields. Tired and awkward.

Time to start recuperating before the w/e.

C • Good luck! 1

JK relays Pwll du, MAH team with EMc and MR. Harder to get myself up for this with tired legs and stomach not feeling great overnight. Took it steady and cruised round without any major errors.

Never get enough w/u for relays.
