Wee jog round a park in Tallinn with Scottish team. Legs predictably stuffed!

Morven, long way up direct descent. Legs felt a bit heavy on climb, had to walk a few times. Warm till top then realised strong tail wind had helped me up hte hill, put on windproof and headed back, very misty and raining steadily (had to take specs off so a bit sketchy on rocky parts). Final descent worse than ever - loose stones and wet rock... Legs feeling a bit shaky by bottom of descent.
Saw a pair of ptarmigan on the plateau as I started the descent. Still white wings and bellies, ran ahead then flew away croaking loudly. Never seen ptarmigan on Morven before - made my day :-)

C • I don't suppose it made the... 6

Loch Kinord -warm water! No cold stress form 12 minutes in, could have stayed longer but arms/legs felt tired - wetsuit felt very tight... maybe need to lose some weight?

Hanging controls in Castle woods for after-school club. Legs OK but feeling pretty wiped out (had a snooze in afternoon).

5 hours surveying, warm and breezy in a lovely dry forest - very pleasant.
Tired on drive home.

Rest day, 1-30 surveying, felt great at start but seriously flagging after an hour.

Very half-hearted attempt at warm-up

JK relays, M120+ with DG & S. Flogged round, saw a few people, no idea if on my course. Broke 7mins/km! Doesn’t happen very often these days.
Very very tired now.
