Orienteering event race 50:39 [3] *** 6.4 km (7:55 / km) +235m 6:41 / km
15c shoes: Olway Tiger 2
Blue course - 6.4k with 235m of climb and 15 controls.
Waking up to clear skies and fresh snow cover, I was torn over what to do and was very tempted to go for a run in the woods around Dunkeld. Eventually decided on Penicuik which was a good move and really enjoyable, especially since my left calf felt fine!

Trail running race 37:25 [4] 9.6 km (3:54 / km) +170m 3:35 / km
shoes: Inov8 Roclite
9.6k with 170m of climb. Took ca 37:15.
Great course - 2 x 3 mile laps, with a sustained gradual climb to start with, followed by a steep descent and then an undulating, and muddy, section to finish!
Ran a reasonably good race, but got frustrated at times when stuck behind other runners on a narrow path with gorse on either side! Had a good tussle with Will, with the lead changing places 2 or 3 times, before "seniority" won the day! Finished 33rd!

Have run this race once (or possibly twice!) before when a student at Stirling University in the late 70's!
Downside was that I pulled something in my left calf just before the finish, which is going to curtail running for a few days - at least!

Headtorch misbehaving, with 20w bulb not working and on subsequent inspection found it has welded itself to the torch innards - could be expensive!
