Run - Terrain warm up/down 10:10 [2] 0.85 km (11:57 / km) +47m 9:22 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 11
Bit of a trot to warm the body up after an hour or so on the start.
12 PM
Run - Orienteering race 1:25:13 10.04 km (8:29 / km) +513m 6:46 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 11
The Trossachs, Black, 8.0km, 715m, 27 controls.
As expected, this was amazing, always love running here. Ground was wet, but not as bad as feared and I (for the most part) chose routes that kept away from the deeper heather - although this didn't always work and I lost about a minute between #19 and #20. Also lost a fair amount of time (45 seconds) looking for a 5m boulder (#12)!
However the most annoying thing was a slow motion fall on the way to #16 where my arm disappeared into a bog hole, completely covering the map in bog and turning it orange. Both the colour and the resulting damage made it difficult to read from there on, causing me to lose some focus, particularly annoying as I had just started to move quite well.
Also aided in me missing the track option at the end of the long leg, costing another minute or so. Final annoying mistake was at the penultimate control where a parallel error cost me another minute. Would have been happier to have been about 3 minutes quicker, but still had a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next race here already.

Out to collect a few controls (only 8 but heavy stakes, so hard work). Amazingly warm and sunny. Nice end to a lovely weekend.
