Pentlands SLR.
Man oh man this was good fun. Started from balerno so after a bit of road munching it was into the proper snow up all the way to the kips. Path was great condition and weather was utterly glorious. Descending off the kips was so fun - just kinda riding a wave of snow, some people were even skiing down. All the climbs were fine - trods were great on the ridge.
Chomped the next few and then going down turnhouse had to do a lot of leaping into snow drifts as people just seemed to refuse to move off the path. Like I appreciate no-one has priority and it’s single track but I’m moving at 20k an hour and they’re doing 1 at best so who’s gonna manoeuvre better? Long story short we made it down at good speed without de-jong chopping any small children or dog walkers into oblivion. Success. Particularly enjoyed doing cornering on the drifts and hard sections.
Headed along the reservoir next and then over the pass and down towards balerno. All chill and was extremely busy.
Overall an absolute belter of a run - perfect weather, sick conditions, felt good - doesn’t get much better than that eh?

Decided to switch it up from the usual ints and headed to dechmont law to do the scottish schools S5/6 boys course from 2016 (excluding 2 controls at the end). Tried to get moving and enjoyed it - some really deep snow in places and the forest at this time of year is pretty quick

Calder woods - took a green course from 2016. Not as much fun as the first one - unfortunately the map was very 'interesting' in places and just seemed to spend a lot of time being rather confused. Oh well, good to get some practice

Parkley and then over to fisher’s brae. One of those annoying ones where it was sufficiently icy to need trails but there was a lot of tarmac. Still, lovely day and a new route so happy days

Did a little steady along the canals at 3:55s. Got into a massive tailwind for the last k of that so ramped the speed up a bit which was fun. Standard for the rest

5x5(2) at the leisure centre.
Oh yes - this was the business. Perfect conditions (no wind, nearly dry) and just felt great throughout. First 4 reps were all around 3:25 which was fine but nothing special and then on the last rep I just felt great and averaged 3:09s which on the leisure centre is a real step forward for me. Was naturally working hard but could always surge and felt reallly in control throughout.
Whatever happens, I think I'll try and peak for around May time even if there aren't any races (and I very much hope there will be) as I want to be going comfortably sub 16 this season

some late night bearings at beecraigs to test out a headtorch I've been given to review. Pros: bright, easy to use. Cons: beam too narrow, battery pack annoying
