Scottish Day 1 @ Lossie: overall was disappointed with performance even though i went really well up to #11. Started well and was clean until 12 where I chose the long path route for certainty and seemed to pick up the wrong one - many more unmapped. Got lost and even disorientated until relocating off the defences. Lost nearly 5 mins then 30secs at #13. Slow to 14 in the torrential rain and slight miss at end (30 secs?). Finally risked a straight line into the green area at end (#16) and flumped. Had to relocate from path to south. Another 3 mins burned. Probably lost 9 mins overall & clearly not happy with that.

Swimming warm up/down 5:00 [2]

In the river at Morar - wonderful in sun and nice & cold for the legs!

6 PM

Off-road running 1:18:20 [3] 9.0 mi (8:42 / mi) +390m 7:40 / mi
slept:7.8 shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265

After lovely day at Mallaig in the sun, I ran back from Morrisons via Cow Hill, Glen Nevis, Dun D (fort), then missed the West High path and steamed down a new forestry track only to reach a dead end a mile or so later. By that time, the rain was belting it down (and with 50 mins on clock) so beat it up through the forest until I caught the path and trekked back. Soggy, knackered but satisfied.

Running 33:50 [3] 4.0 mi (8:28 / mi) +125m 7:43 / mi
slept:8.1 shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 2

Along the valley road to the bridge and back; struggled on the hills with the descents worse than the climb!

4 PM

Orienteering 1:07:00 [3] 6.5 km (10:18 / km) +200m 8:56 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Mudclaw 265

Training on Achdalieu using dad's course from 2001; I certainly don't remember it to have been that tough! Was still feeling effects of Sunday and Inov8's weren't strong enough for the tussocky crap. Barely ran more than 100m at a time; positively I O'd pretty sound and kept in contact throughout.

Running 30:50 [2] 4.0 mi (7:43 / mi)
slept:7.5 shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 2

Drove around to Glen Nevis so I could have a flat run! O & B up the Glen road which was just what needed. Thighs particularly battered.

6 PM

Swimming warm up/down 5:00 [1]

Recovery swim in the stream pool near the Loch. Made a difference and the water wasn't too cold either.
