LAMM day 2. 1st by 30 minutes today, and 1hr30 overall. Another good day. Ate and drank plenty at camp, and slept ok. It started raining 10 minutes before the start, but soon stopped, remaining cloudy but not cold most of the day, and clear - ideal running conditions. Route choices not too hard, nor was the fine navigation, just had to keep running. One brutally steep climb in particular was a hands and knees job in heather, and seemed to go on for ages. But otherwise it felt relatively relaxed knowing we had a good cushion from yesterday. 3rd LAMM elite win in a row - woo hoo!!

LAMM day 1. Strathcarron. 1st by 40 minutes. The elite and A got taken by bus then minibus up to the top of the road to Applecross, with views of Skye Ridge in the distance. Then into the course, fine navigation was fine, two longer route choice legs which I was happy with. Good weather all day, almost too warm at times, but kept eating and drinking well, and felt fairly strong.

Gentle run, resting up for the LAMM at the weekend. Strathcarron, same event centre as LAMM 2004 (when it snowed in June, and I was 5th on B with Kirsty). Feeling good, and really looking forward to it.

Easy run round the woods, recovering from British, tapering for LAMM. Bit of tiredness in the legs from the weekend.
