S6D Day 1 Dalrunzion. 2nd elite off on the WRE. Caught the first starter at no 3. Missed no. 5 - bang on line but looked for the crag at the green boundary when it was a contour up the hill. Looped round and attacked again to the same point before finding it ~ 2 mins. Then reasonably clean. Little wobbles at 14 and 17. A bit diasappointed to be so far down (Rach 65') but on reflection was just running a bit conservatively - probably a good plan for my first race in a long time.

O tech training on Glen Tanar N. Haven't run on this bit of the map since the 6 days in '93. It's showing its age with the open completely choked with broom and a few significant vegetation changes. The main hill is still white though and nice running. No real navigation problems. The 6 days will seem easy after all these training sessions - markers in the forest, up to date maps and properly planned courses.

Before and after O session

On holiday now ;-}}}

Still not feeling great, but decided a short interval session shouldn't do any harm. Did 10 x 1' + 1' at Hazlehead. Don't think I ever managed to get myself up to full speed, but at least the legs were moving a bit quicker.

To and from Hazlehead

Not feeling 100% - achy teeth which is normally a sign of being run down. Don't want to get ill before the 6 days, so just went for a short steady run round Hazlehead. Legs felt OK.
