Running 38:00 [3] 5.1 km (7:27 / km) +110m 6:44 / km
shoes: x-Talon 212
Lap of the woods and out to the fields with E after training at Carlogie. Feeling really tired after yesterday - all sorts of aches and pains from normally unused muscles. Also had a really stiff / sore upper back / neck last night. Got J to have a go at massaging it but it ended up worse then before after going to bed, so not best night's sleep.

X-country skiing 1:30:00 [3] 6.7 km (13:26 / km) +190m 11:46 / km
Attempt at a ski tour from high point on Dinnet-Strathdon road towards Pressendye. Didn't get a great line through the forest early on, then once onto the open found ourselves wallowing in 0.5-1m of soft snow - heavy going. Made the first trig point on Baderonach Hill and had a few 100m of nice stuff along the top before a tricky descent to Lazy Wells. Stopped in the hut then turned to head back much the same way, but E had a strop and threw his skis away before stomping back on foot. Headed behind with J taking it in turns to carry the skis. Found a better route back, but still heavy going. Really beautiful and would have enjoyed it if there hadn't been a sense of humour failure. Out for 3h.
Feeling yesterday's ski in my legs before the start and well tired now.

X-country skiing 1:30:00 [3] 13.2 km (6:49 / km) +350m 6:01 / km
Wee trip up to the Clash. Conditions good and could be excellent after the snow coming in now. Big loop round by herringbone hill and the haute route, plus a short extension out to a forest road end. Final descent a bit iffy as ever but managed to stay upright.

X-country skiing 1:00:00 [2] 7.3 km (8:13 / km) +150m 7:27 / km
Headed out on the track over from Lochnagar distillery towards Glen Muick. Snow still a bit thin, but skiable with only a few grinding sounds. Gorgeous looking up to Lochnagar and Coyles of Muick. Back the same way from the low point at the bridge - shame we didn't have someone to pick us up on the other side. All at a v leisurely pace.

Orienteering 1:09:00 [3] 6.9 km (10:00 / km) +220m 8:37 / km

DNC Shooting Greens. Bit sloppy but good in parts. Lost confidence at #5 and lost a lot of time there. Legs not too bad considering everything.

Running 43:00 [3] 6.5 km (6:37 / km) +100m 6:09 / km
shoes: Salomon speedcross 2019
Out to the bridge on the TW with DR. Then carried on with J for another 5' or so before heading back the same way. Legs a bit heavy on the steeper climbs but generally not feeling too bad.

Feeling generally weary but no specific issues. Excellent cure for insomnia - had a cracking 11.5 hours in bed last night :-)
