Checking some controls before and collecting controls after event.

Checking control sites at Corsedarder. Pleasant day and feeling strong in terrain, but lacking puff up the hills.... Probably need some more hill sessions - next week will be number 1 for the summer.

C • Hills 1

Rest day - spent much of it in the garden pulling weeds. Arms tingling now from too many nettle stings!

Surveying 4 hours. Feeling much brighter than Wednesday.

Dess Wood loop - first half with Sarah and the second half with Buzzie! Wise now so took a stick with me - he made a few dives when I was crossing up field, then checked me out at the gate to Neil's on my return. Feeling a bit tired and heavy legged, but going reasonably well.

Surveying 3 hours. Feeling desperately tired, perhaps last week and Monday travelling took more out of me than I thought?

C • Did you run youself ragged ... 3

Glen Tanar 12x1+1. Feeling terrible - seldom felt so poor during an intervals set - maybe lack of food, maybe dehydrated, just awful.

2 Bridges loop, warm-up OK, intervals terrible then a bit of a grovel back.

Travel all day - first took bus to airport at 0515, then drove from 0900 till 1400 to airport, flew back via Amsterdam. Home 0100 (Finnish time).... looooong day!
