VHI Indiv. Pentlands hill race (sort O-event). Pushed hard, ran as much as I could and only 1-30 behind NB, unfortunately PM had a flyer so was 7 mins down...
5th M55 which given state of my legs and the type of area wasn't too bad, managed to beat all the M60s, but plenty of W35/40s ahead!

Decent warm-up before VHI relays. Legs feeling OK

VHI relays... a bit of a debacle, 2 comedy errors (ran past one control due to trying to use rhododendron bushes as an indication of location. 2.5 mins gone. Then turned right out of a control instead a left (another minute).
Then in second half has to stop about 5 or 6 times because I felt I was going to pass out. Had to stop, bend over and catch breath till world came into view again.

all day in Embra with E, sorting a visa

Hanging controls for after-school club

Collecting controls - more of them but much quicker :-)
Calf totally fine.

Shadowing CW round WeTT at Redburn. wet evening but pleasant trot round with plenty of stops to discuss plans, options etc.
Never aware of calf :-)

Lap of Dess Woods with E. Very pleasant evening and great views. Legs feeling OK, calf fine.

Very short jog round Hill of Banchory. Some brambles ripening, but generally too much shade.

Felt tough - lots of ab work. See what tomorrow brings!

Surveying 1 hour.
