S+C/Drills/Plyo/Flex 20:00 [0]
Cycling 2:56:29 [2]
Out along the B roads north of North Deeside, took a wrong turn away from Torphins though and did an extra section. Bumped into Big Jon, cycled with him for a bit and took a nice countryside route back to the Dee. Stopped in Aboyne for a snack and then over the ridge to Glen Dye to pick some berries. Dying on any climbs today but really pleasant ride in the sunny weather and with less wind than usual.
72.3km, +850m

Cycling 1:00:40 [2]
Two hours later rolled back home at some good pace. Watch died but timed the excess and think I kept above 30kph. Alright for someone awful at cycling and [for you Forest Demon] for someone without any cleats.
31km, +60m.

The big one, single loop of Balnagowan with 20 controls by the end, more of a weights session. Circled by a buzzard for a good 10mins which sped things up quite effectively.

Felt a bit lazy so picked up the cadence on a nearby hill.

Cycling long 3:22:53
Had this route planned for a while now, not too exciting so more of a mental battle/completion task. Got a bit cold when the sun wasn't out and didn't take a jacket stupidly but perked up when the way back had some tailwind and glorious sunshine. Stopped for a snack in Carnwath which was very much needed and felt better towards the end.

Slightly longer than the planned lap of the meadows with EUOC, Lydia and Barri. Knee never got worse, but didn't really feel great either.

Thought this went quite well but earlier start time (without packs) and being a bit cautious with my knee probably [hopefully] took its toll more than I expected. Otherwise not sure why I was so far down. Really enjoyed it anyway, the top bit is my favourite piece of terrain in Deeside for sure. Smashed my compass on the way down though...

Getting there, after a chat to Andrew B's mum, I took some paracetamol and knee felt much more manageable. Was almost able to race normally again, just still feeling a bit unfit from the big break, but not as bad as Tuesday. Running style still feels a bit wonky but was happy to be able to descend down any hills painlessly today.
Lost about 90s, with 60s of that running past an almost certainly slightly out of place number 5 without checking the code because I was so sure, not blaming anyone in particular though! Caught up El Purko who gave a nice bit of pressure from behind to finish quickly and reel in a nice third place - could have been even better but I'll take that for where I am now, even with a fresher pair of legs to everyone else after wimping out yesterday. Anyway, might even finish the whole race tomorrow after today's result.
