Orienteering 1:04:00 [3] 7.8 km (8:12 / km) +180m 7:21 / km
shoes: 2013 VJ Supra
Race the Castles - Forvie - Brown course
Nice sand dune area, didn't really seem to get into the most technical bits which was a shame, but again the navigation probably wouldn't have been up to it given the time lost on controls near the end. One stupid mistake on #15 turning the wrong way along a path to find a junction when it could never have been that way... Legs feeling surprisingly ok after yesterday's run though the flatter areas were hard work. Mid-October in Scotland with the sun out on an enjoyable area - couldn't have asked for much more.

Out via controls 1-4 to swap out the radio controls. Took more of a path route on the way back as feeling a little tired now (and in need of sustenance).

Orienteering 2:40:00 [3] 14.3 km (11:11 / km) +675m 9:03 / km
shoes: 2013 VJ Supra
Race the Castles Classic - Balmoral Estate.
Can happily 'run' this distance but not in shape to consider racing it. Terrain generally very nice except the slope next to assembly, a few stony/rocky areas too. Navigation was pretty average and lost some fair chunks of time. Sub 2h30 certainly achievable, but was enjoying the nice bits of terrain and thinking about the running too much, rather than concentrating on the navigation.

Running 4:11:30 [3] 29.75 km (8:27 / km) +865m 7:23 / km
ahr:147 max:195 shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 265
Ilam 12 miler + map hunt. Group split at Ladyside and took the straight down-and-up to Wetton rather than the 16 mile route via Ecton. Stopped for a photo at the bottom of Hall Dale, put the map on the bench arm then ran off without it. Got back to Ilam before I realised (20.65k, 3:19, ahr 140)...
So went back, thinking I'd left it later in the run, before twigging and going all the way back (including passing the 16 mile gang). To find it was no longer there. Someone got a bit of a bonus today, and I've probably earnt myself a prize at our annual dinner. (9.1k, 52:30, ahr 175). Body was a bit tired at the end of this.
Good day for it again - bit of a cloud/fog/mist inversion early on was very picturesque.
