Cracking autumn day, so a black course at Inver it was. Took it steady and loved it - a real mountain O experience, with a few scary traverses / descents and some monster heather in between some nicer more runnable bits. A few tricky control sites too. Died a bit on the last loop and made a few wee errors, but really chuffed to be feeling still ok towards the end, and no cramping issues (platypus and jbs must have helped).

Took the bus up with E, so used the first leg of the course as my warm-up. Jog back from the finish as warm-down.

With J from near Torphins out to Tarland road, W to high point, down military road to Lumphanan (very soggy and fell off) then back to Torohins. Disappointed to find tea shop shut at Lumphanan but stopped at R and G in Torphins instead.
Nice day for a ride.

With J from Cambus along to Tullich and up towards the mast, then out on track N towards foot of Morven and back by track down the Crannoch Burn. Upper legs felt tired from the outset. Never really felt comfortable and had to dig in from way too early. Funny - I've never had a very good experience of that bit below Morven. Might have helped if we'd taken some food.
Good to get a long one in though.

Stopped off at Banchory on the way home. 20' aerobic mix and the rest weights.

10 x 2'+1' railway intervals. Felt better than expected.

To start of intervals via Ian's with a 10' interuption chatting about the DW. Back from end of session along the planned DW route. Lovely autumn day.

Another 2 loads of muck. Arms still sore from Sunday.

Practical bits of athletics workshop.
