Orienteering - race 54:57 [3] 4.6 mi (11:57 / mi)
Tentsmuir csc blue women
Clean-ish but still very unfit. Dead at the end. This is very depressing. I am struggling to enjoy the sport when I am so shit at it. And if it is not enjoyable, why bother???

Road running 43:42 [3] 5.44 mi (8:02 / mi)
Meadows lappage as Lucy played her first ever match. They lost 3-0 against Sciennes. This is a decent result for Preston Street. Lozza's team have played for 18 months, and haven't ever won a match .... until today! 6-5 against Bonaly. It was very exciting indeed. Laurence thought the funniest thing was that the Dads were so excited that they were all hugging each other. So proud of their perseverence, and the way that they have never once let the (many) defeats get them down or spoil their enjoyment. A lesson I could learn from.
Easy lap then two tempos (both 10 mins I think) then another easy one.

Trail running 35:00 [3] 4.0 mi (8:45 / mi)
Dalkeith country park while the kids were at cycling club. That place has changed beyond recognition in the past few years. Lucy took me around the adventure playground after.

Note
When you are running badly those weekly emails from BOF about ranking points sound increasingly sarcastic. "Congratulations" the latest one said, "you have achieved xxxx (just about scraping into 4 figures, weepingly lamentable) ranking points". This was my 15th best score in the past 12 months, apparently. I can't believe I have actually been orienteering 15 times in the past year.

Intervals - long endurance 1:02:08 [3] 7.0 mi (8:53 / mi)
Inverleith park reps
8min, 6 min, 4, 3, 2, 1 with 90 secs for the first two and 1 min for the others. Grass reps, wore spikes which felt good. Nice to catch up with Chloe C on the jog back up the hill too. I did feel really very slow though.
Foot fine.
