Orienteering race 1:45:00 [3] 10.2 km (10:18 / km) +330m8:52 / km
Balfour brown course. Really enjoyed the first half but then turned into a bit of a longer plod than I probably should have been doing today. A bit messy in the circle with a bigger error on no 13 . Contours just didn’t seem to make sense - must have angled off direction a bit early and then ended up too low. Great forest though and realised today that this was actually my first race there! Legs felt ok. Wasn’t pushing it too hard.
Running hills 1:28:00 [3] 11.3 km (7:47 / km) +520m6:20 / km
From the bridge at Aboyne, jog to bottom of Fungle then 4 x reps up to the Seat, walking steeper bits with poles. Didn't notice climb on first 2, was aware of it by the 3rd and the last felt like quite hard work. Surprised to have racked up quite so much climb . Only need to do this 5 times and I'll get round a day of UTMR :-)
Cold not really come to anything yet - just slightly irritated nose
