Training run on Rannoch checking to see if if was still standing for next years SOL. Never been here before and was amazed just how nice it is; acres of open pine forest with some lovely pockets of detail. The map had hardly changed either, the only noticeable difference being that most of the green areas had opened up a bit, another lovely sunny day as well. I have a tough life.

Auchingarrich, ran some of the Scottish Champs course in two intervals, regrouping after the first. Had heard a lot of negative things about this place but don't know why, sure it had a lot of scratchy branches but it as clean and fast underfoot and all you had to do was man up a bit! Legs still not right from the cycle the other day so not moving as well as I'd have liked, but it was great training on yet another sunny day.

Note
Map from last Sunday's BEOC middle now added (in training entry for the race). Interesting to see how much I had to adjust the GPS line in many places as it wasn't anywhere near where the feature was.

Wasn't sure what to do so made the run up as I went along. Was once told about a swimming hole on the stream up to Sheriffmuir so went to explore. Very nice it is to, quite small but deep with a rock slide into it and a good jump from the top. Not quite warm enough to temp me in today though.

Mapping 1:00:00 [0]
Back in Aberfoyle to tidy up some edges and seeing if there was anything else worth adding (5.45 hours), there was so will need to go back for another couple of days.

Bike - Road 3:10:00 [3] 83.4 km (2:17 / km) +500m 2:13 / km
Had to take advantage of yet another sunny day, not been out on the road bike for months and it felt like it! Headed to Dunning and over to Glen Devon and back up Glen Eagle, took it nice and easy at the start but there was a deceptively strong breeze behind me, had a big climb after an hour, but managed to keep a steady tempo for the second hour, but the final hour really hurt. My posterior more than once informed me that it wasn't keen on 100psi on rough roads... Knackered, but very enjoyable.

Note
Drive back up to Scotland. Despite the glorious sunshine I couldn't muster the enthusiasm to run after the trip. Used the niggle in my right calf to pad out my excuse.
