Orienteering race 54:57 [3] 7.5 km (7:20 / km)
Palacerigg winter score. Good variety and pleased with run - probably had time to get at least another 700-pointer but played safe and got back with 5 mins to spare. Ok decision as beat 4 folk with lots of penalty points. 5th place again.
Hill walking 1:54:00 [2] 7.57 km (15:04 / km) +100m 14:08 / km
Planning at Dunrod Hill - sunny but crisp snow in parts.

Orienteering race 49:36 [3] 7.0 km (7:05 / km)
Stag night event at Pollok. Beaten by overfamiliarity at the first control, wandering round the wrong shrub for 2 mins, and then lacking enthusiasm for the subsequent track running round the parkrun route. More time losses faffing looking for 37 and 41 in vague undergrowth and overall a poor performance to forget.

Running race 22:26 [3] 5.0 km (4:29 / km)
Linwood parkrun. First visit here, while Amelia completed her 200th! Enjoyed the flat course. 30s quicker than last week at Pollok.
Orienteering race 33:33 [3] 5.3 km (6:20 / km)
Cammo estate green course. First visit here and enjoyed it, good wee training area. Ran pretty hard and only slightly wide on a couple of controls. Being chased down for most of the second half by Bex but just managed to stay ahead (good relay training). 7th/58. Esoc got about 200 people at this!

Orienteering race 52:45 [3] 5.0 km (10:33 / km)
Abbey Craig night race. Made a good start but was too hesitant on long leg to 5 and lost the pack. Met Jon X at 11 but he went away on another gaffle. Had a pretty clean 2nd loop, saw Brad floating about and was with him at 21/22 but lost ground up the hill to 23, then annoyingly missed 24 wasting 3 mins right at the end. Tricky course and very good training.

Orienteering race 45:40 [3] 7.0 km (6:31 / km)
Stag winter score at Pollok. Happy with the route I picked and only a couple of minor misses: a few seconds on 74 and 64 where the control descriptions were a little inaccurate, a few seconds on 75 where I didn’t read it was a pit, and about 30 seconds on 71 where there were extra brambles and had to relocate back off the ride bend. Overall ran pretty hard and enjoyed it. A good 5th place (5 seconds behind DonP who lost more time at 71).

Walking race 22:43 [3] 5.0 km (4:33 / km)
Pollok parkrun on the upper glade route. Dry mild day, felt good and managed a much better time than recently.
