Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Home to Deeside Way, to river bank and along to flood marker hut, then back up Deeside Way, pushed a few sections at higher pace

Faster bits

Cycle with Ewan and Sarah - Balmoral distilery to Glen Muick, down Glen Muick and back along south Deeside road. Pleasant day out - chilly and a bit breezy but apart from cold feet on second half the temp was fine. Lovely sunny day, hardly a cloud around except on hill tops.

Easy to drinks point in D&D.

Collecting controls from last 1/3rd of course in D&D. Forest still as nice as ever and hardly changed apart from a few little bits of green cleared.

Easy out on Muir of Dinnet checking a few control sites for DNC next month - gonna be great!

To start and from finish of night-O

Deeside Night Cup, Birsemore Hill - a superb night (clear and stars out, not too cold) and great course by Drew. Really hard technically (and physically - esp near the end), missed 3 badly and bounced off track beyond, other than that a few wobbles and lots of hesitations to confirm where I was. Not always having a clear plan, could have saved time on some legs by simplifying and using bigger features. 30 secs behind Sasha.... again so close!

Faffing about at start and finish of training and hanging a few controls in Lossie for sprint training.

Colecting a few controls and jog back to cars. C&B - good area.

Part of a core strength session. Avoided too much stress!
