Legs are feeling exhausted. Also had pain in the arch of my foot since last Sunday that doesn't seem to be going away.

Big Weekend - Arthur's Seat
Mass start on the brown course. Really enjoyed this and feeling better than the last 2 days. Still struggling with uphills though.
Was on my own through the loops section which was good cos I was navigating well. Managed to get a 80sec lead on Laura by the 20th control, but then chose the wrong route on the long leg and lost a load of time, punching 21 quite a bit after she did. Ran the remainder of the course with her but just had nothing for a sprint finish (didn't want the win badly enough).

Big Weekend - Urban Edinburgh
Feeling absolutely exhausted by the time I reached the 4th control, so the rest of the course was a struggle just to keep moving. Quite slow through the exchange area as the levels were really confusing to understand. Then decided to cut through George Square to 30 and got stuck by a locked gate so had to go round then messed up the actual location of the control too. Think this flustered me a bit and got stitch going to the next control and nearly slowed to a walk. Managed to get it under control and finish the last few controls in the meadows.

FWTN #6 - Kings Buildings
Fun course with loads of loops and 34 controls, so it was a challenge just finding the right order of controls. Felt good warming up, but once I got going just immediately feeling exhausted and struggling with breathing. Navigation was pretty rusty also...kept missing the shortcuts and took a couple of longer routes. SI Air was fun though :)

Broxburn XC
Really nervous beforehand of getting stitch again and undecided on shoe choice up till the last moment so that was stressing me out a bit. Decided to wear full length tights and a thermal which was a good decision, as I could breathe a lot easier than last race. Started off slower than usual and stuck in behind Sarah and Shona. Ended up being just Shona and I on the second lap, trying to hang onto her for as long as I could but had to back off a bit on the final uphill as I could feel my breathing beginning to get out of control. 12th place (I think).
Much happier with this race than the previous one :) HBT women ended up winning the overall team series too.

Blackford and Braids. Feeling surprisingly good. 11 hours sleep last night must have helped :) Had to have a sit down at the top of Blackford though, as my breathing went nuts and got quite dizzy. Still a bit sniffly also.
