BOC relays. Disappointing to lose the WO team. Great first leg by JR. Set off confidently but then fumbled no 1 in the circle, lost confidence and binned 3'. Kind of lost motivation after that with no real reason to race.
Poor effort.

BOC at Winterfold. Got thoroughly confused by tarmac'd "track" on way to 1 and lost best part of 2'. Had to fight a feeling of game over at that point but pleased with myself for hanging in there. Missed another 1' at 5 running too hard and not stopping to read the map. Chuffed to claw back to 2nd place by the end.
Didn't have any great expectations of this w/e - you generally get what you've worked for. Need to decide how to approach the 6 days - will enjoy it more if I know I've trained for it, but am not sure I'm motivated enough to make it a real target.

BOC warm-up event at Guildford. Was good to get out and remind myself how to O before tomorrow. Better late than never.

In Embra

Rant
How is it that you can Skype from a log cabin in S Turkey to the middle of the woods in Deeside, but an international research organisation can't manage to set up a sensible video conference from their headquarters in Aberdeen to a university in Denmark? Something going wrong somewhere.
Frustrating day. Embra tomorrow. Not exactly the best prep for BOC. Hey-ho was always going to be so.

With J from tennis courts out the TW and round about Aboyne Castle grounds. Feeling spaced out but legs pretty fresh.

Travelling home

To swim and back. Gonna miss this little morning ritual.

Walk up the Goynuk canyon. More impressive jaggedy mountains and a rough rocky path up the canyon between. A long slog up to the first pass where I'd hoped to get up onto one of the tops, but time was short and the climb looked a bit too interesting. Back the same way and then a cooling dip in the pool at the bottom.

Went out to the end of the rocks.
