orienteering race 1:19:00 [5]
SOL 1 Dalrulzion, M21L course, tired from Saturday. Started pretty well and caught Helen B near 8 then good through open area, lost time crossing some shite to 19 - wind-blow, new quarry and then dodgily hung control (on hill side rather than re-entrant. Starting to tire and gradually got ropier and more weaving near end. Helen B caught me just as we left the forest and ran away - but I spotted best line to last control and snuck it ahead of her and stayed ahead on run-in. Not worked that hard for a while! 14 minutes down on Markie, really struggled to run cleanly over brashings and fallen trees, no confidence in my knees and stopping and starting a lot.
steady run warm up/down 20:00 [3]
decent warm-up - but the "up to 20 mins to start" were more like 3 or 4! lots of jogging about near start. Grovel back from finish to car park.
stretching 12:00 [1]
Feeling surprisingly flexible and un-stiff, possibly due to never running very fast today!

orienteering race 16:00 [5]
Scottish Sprint Champs, Perth, Inches grotty housing estate. Good course (though some iffy gates/high fence round a school), not focussing and definitely not living in the future. Need to work harder at this if i'm to crack urban sprint-O. 3rd - Dave R and Dixie ca 40 and 10 secs ahead.
steady run warm up/down 30 [3]
decent warm-up, but not over-long, warm down with Hazel, Dixie & Dave R. feeling pretty sore legged.
orienteering 40:00 [4]
Control hanging and collecting at Deuchney and Kinnoull Hill. Sneaky exercise for Talent Squad with circular map and no grid lines. All coped pretty well.
