Scottish Orienteering League 3, Loch Ordie, Blue Course (4.7 km, 180 m) in 53:26 (with approximately 5:05 of errors). Tough climbing through the heather on the first few legs! Lost time due to a significant miss at 3 (when I stopped on the previous line of crags) (-2:15), helped a (very!) lost runner at 5 (-0:20), a poor route on 7-8 (I should have stayed low) (-2:00), and a rather inefficient approach to 10 (-0.30). Well beaten on the course, but reasonably placed amoungst the M55s.

Slow jog round Springburn parkrun #333 on a sunny morning with lots of people in Eurovision fancy dress to celebrate Springburn's 8th birthday. Official result 130/197 in 30:22.

Scottish Middle Distance Championships 2022, Men Supervets (Course 3B) (3.1 km, 180 m) in 31:39 (-2:30 in errors). Tough climb from the start to number 4, and then just trying to keep going. Poor miss at control 2 (-1.30) where I didn't take enough care and bounced off the track beyond, hestitant 8-9 (-0.15) when one of the tracks never showed up, slow 9-10 (-0.15) where I should have gone back to the track, and a poor route 10-11 (-0.30) where I missed the best track and ended up in some small trees, but even a clean run would not have got me on to the podium today. (Winner Tim Griffin in 27:16.)

New variation on the lanes east of Milngavie, starting by going up through Mugdock Village before climbing over the top via Baldernock
Linn and then dropping all the way down on a new (to me) road down to Balmore before returning via Baldernock and Milngavie on a sunny evening after a long day on Zoom.

Garsube Interval Session, 10 x 200 m at a decent pace in a small but well-matched group of three including Robin.

Loop up through Baldernock and then back over the top on a slightly damp evening after a wet day. Stopped only to photograph (and then report) some fly tipping at the highest point.
