Orienteering race 22:00 [4] 3.5 km (6:17 / km)
ESOC sprint prologue at Heriot Watt Riccarton. Quite solid run, no errors, just felt a bit sluggish in the cold. 30s behind Steve and very close to Robin, Max and a few others.
Orienteering race 24:56 [4] 4.0 km (6:14 / km)
Chasing sprint. Took what seemed like ages to find the start triangle on the map, but closed in a good bit on Steve by 3 and kept control well, with him in sight until 22, where I lost contact with the map seeing the pack coming out the control past me, and carelessly lost a minute. Saw Pete L and Max go past, but outsprinted Pete at the end and Max blundered, so gained one place to finish 11th.

Orienteering 1:03:04 [3] 8.59 km (7:21 / km)
Palacerigg Score - running map from event I missed last week. Timed this not bad, missing only 7 controls (43, 44, 53, 57, 60, 33, 32). Quite happy with choice of routes, probably could have got 43 quite quickly but was tiring in the tussock. Same controls as paw it appears, but went 56-38-58 instead. 180 error after being in the general zone of 31 contributed to 3 mins over the hour which would have been 8090 points and 9th place. Whether I actually visited the exact control sites is another matter...not too sure about 59, 38, 51 or 31 !

Running 15:00 [3] 2.3 km (6:31 / km)
Thought I'd make the effort to get over to Victoria Parkrun but on arrival realised it was out of the question due to ice, so went for a jog on the grass.

Snow training on a crisp winter evening at Pollok. 5 laps of field, getting gradually slower in the crispy covering.

Orienteering 20:00 [3] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)
Jogging from respray garage home via a few turfs. Had a few kneecap twinges yesterday, similar to one at the JOK sprint, but not too bad today, hopefully just the cold weather.

Orienteering race 56:31 [3] 7.37 km (7:40 / km)
Stag winter score at Cathkin Braes on a wild, wet day! Happy with my route, out and back avoiding repeated climb, apart from 39 which I should have got later, between 48 and 49. Lost 2 mins at 46 which seemed more in the middle of the thicket than north side, and found 56 just as I thought I was lost, but otherwise ok, and tidier than the 3 parks. 6th place, 4 mins off Alex and Trevor.
Orienteering 23:00 [3] 2.6 km (8:51 / km)
Control collecting in driving icy rain.

Orienteering race 46:53 [3] 7.27 km (6:27 / km)
Stag Winter Score Pollok Park. 6th place, pretty solid run, moving ok and only a couple of mistakes, minute lost at 53 due to approach from dubious placing of 44, and 90 seconds lost at 56 not seeing low placed control in gully.
Orienteering 20:00 [3] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)

Running 12:20 [3] 1.6 km (7:42 / km)
Jog to the beach and back in a wild gale, a battle into the wind, almost flying on the way back.
