Surveying 6 hours. Hot and sunny :-)

Surveying 6.5 hours. Tired and hungry after.

Intervals Deeside Way towards Aboyne. 6x2+1. Legs didn't feel great but persevered and pushed pretty hard. Pleased with effort. Hot sunny day, taps aff from the start :-)

Long way down hill (by waterfall) and grovel direct route back.

Hanging and collecting controls for after-school club. Rained during session - not allowed!

Saw Mark Beaumont's talk in Banchory - he's a big guy , 6'3" and 90kg - so hardly an archetypal shape of cyclist, but obviously he can go far deeper for longer than most mortals:

Surveying 6.5 hours. Tired

Forest Sprint, Tliquhillie. Reasonably clean run, a bit right on 1 (track angle?) 20-30 seconds, drifted right on 4 (avoiding climb!) 30-40 seconds and ran towards start from last control... maybe 15 seconds. Also went through some semi-open... bad mistake it was grim! maybe 40 seconds.
Feeling surprisingly strong but a bit slow on climbs.

C • Track angle 2

hmm, results show I wasn't anywhere near moving quickly enough - I probably was very heavy legged from surveying.

Surveying 6 hours, tired by end.

Working abs hard - will probably be sore tomorrow.
