Mainly exercises to help my Achilles.

Long run with Fi from the uni, up Dumyat, down through Minewoods and back through Bridge of Allan. Wet.

4.5 hours of gardening.

Event: INT Urban O - incorporating SOUL3 and NUL1
 

INTrepid race 1, Livingston. Easy course but not a good performance; scrappy.

Race 2. Much trickier course, but much better performance, feeling like attacking. Only issue was getting distracted by 2 wee girls at 10 and exiting through the wrong alley.

Various warming up and down.

Event: FVO Night Series Event 9 Tulliallan
 

FVO night o, Tulliallan.

Started off reasonably well for a change (may have got a sneaky peak at 1) but it wasn't to last. In the excitement of trying to keep in touch with GG and Daniel I managed to run from 3 to 5. Once there, wondering why the other two had veered off line, I realised I no longer had an SI card on my finger. I dithered around, searching, wondering whether I should retrace my steps. This allowed the others to get back in front.

I chased after them, but wasn't really focused any more, if I ever had been, especially when I realised I'd missed 4 out. By 9 I was all on my own so trotted round the next few until 14. Then I headed over to 3 to play hunt the SI card. 20m out of 3, at the top of a steep bank I spotted it! Delighted. Jogged round the last two, didn't see much point in racing Roger.

Collecting a few flags with the boyz.

Physio. Achilles not too bad, now have some good exercises to do to sort it.... Just need to do them. Root cause seems to be my loose left ankle from a series of sprains ahem twenty years ago.
