Saturday Mar 1, 2014 #
9 AM
Conditioning (Sandpit action) 1:00:00 [3]
One hour hard graft building a big sand mountain and moat in Alva Playpark (sorry, couldn't resist logging it! :-))
10 AM
Hill Running 1:02:08 [3] 6.07 mi (10:14 / mi) +750m 7:24 / mi
Ran up and down Ben Cleuch via Ben Ever from Alva Glen Car Park. Ran the whole way but kept the effort moderate. 42.30 to the top. Snow lying above 650m (only significant on Ben Cleuch). Not much wind making for good conditions.
2 PM
Orienteering race 49:51 [4] 4.51 mi (11:03 / mi) +300m 9:10 / mi
ESOC CTI event at Corstorphine Hill - Green Course 5.6km, 290m (tough for a CTI!)
Steady if not slightly fatigued run round. Nav ok apart from two rubbish controls, No.11 where I lost 2 - 3 mins hunting about a massive crag covered in thorny bushes, then eventually found the control on a tiny one out in the open further west. And no.14 where I lost perhaps just over a minute in the random gorse bushes which didn't seem to be mapped that well. Was a bit wayward to no.4 too.
Slightly miffed to have to return the map at the finish as they'd massively underestimated how many folk were going to turn up. Good that the event was popular though!
Result 3rd, fastest Mark Purkis 46.20
