Training Log Archive: ndobbs

Stayed the night at my cousins' in Lindores, then went to Birnam to pick up some maps and lunch (milk and shortbread biscuits).

Dozed a bit in the car park before setting out. Did a couple of controls on Bonskeid, then crossed the bridge to the Linn of Tummel map, 13c there. Another few on Bonskeid on the way back.

Still have some phlegm to cough up. But basically I'm unfit and need to do some faster training sessions. I did decide towards the end that not-very-motivated me should not jog, either walk or run, and that was better.

Lovely out. Drove up to Aviemore later. For a while it was simultaneously raining, snowing and sunny.

Pretty barren in the Highlands, it'd remind you of Nevada nearly.

Skipped running the relay, but fun hanging out.

Car, train, bus, train, bus to St Andrews after.

Didn't know if I'd even make it as far as the spectator, but did that and two controls more.

This was fun. Throat was a bit scratchy, so tried not to let the heart rate get high, kept it steady.

Terrain was great. Pity I had to skip the last hour...

Strange sickness, sore throat, coughing up phlegm, but energy levels never collapsed.
