Note

Knee not very good. Struggled to walk first thing, then went for a 15 min hobble/walk at Potties while waiting for E to do a wee course. Seems to be gradually easing a little - can just about straighten the leg (5pm) but couldn't consider running on it. No marks or bruising, don't have a clue what caused it.

orienteering race 28:00 [5]

Scottish Middles, Gleneagles. Felt Ok on warm up so pushed hard from start, tough heather early on. Left knee suddenly gave some stabbing pains on inside - ligament/tendon? Eased back a little till the pain softened and then pushed again. Missed maybe 20-30 secs in total. 3rd old man (JT and DR). Happy enough given it wasn't really my terrain (too easy and fast).
Knee definitely feeling slightly wrong this evening - hopefully just a tweak at some point. Will take it easy tomorrow and see what happens to it.

steady run warm up/down 20:00 [3]

to start plus some drills, strides etc. Feeling good.

steady run 25:00 [3]

Home to Aboyne to pick up car. Pleased at how much bounce in legs today, glad didn't try anything harder yesterday. Now for the Scottish Middles tomorrow - could be the last race for a while...

cycling 20:00 [2]

Home from leaving car at garage, legs felt dreadful so binned idea of some short intervals.

orienteering 28:00 [3]

Hanging and collecting controls at after-school club. Bellwood - lovely condition, mostly dry and forest so pleasant in places.

orienteering race 48:00 [5]

DNC Tilquhillie. Last race of the series, not particularly nice forest, decent course but map also a bit iffy in places - vegetation was poor and at night you can't see thick stuff ahead... Anyway, missed 3 badly - too far left and overshot - probably 2.5 mins, then picked lone that had lots of overgrown "open" areas, stopped short at 8 and then 9, map didn't seem to fit the ground shape-wise. 11 - not sure how green was shown but managed to find control reasonably quickly.

steady run warm up/down 12:00 [3]

Note

Surveying 7 hours. Tired by end (actually tired by half way through but had to finish...)

Surveying 7:00:00 [1]

Long day, windy and wet at times - not pleasant on open moor. Got it done.

Pilates 1:00:00 [1]

Decent session, nothing too drastic

Note

Surveying 3.5 hours - would have done more but getting dark by 6pm

Surveying 3:30:00 [1]

Revision so lots of walking, little standing. Feeling Ok and only cut short due to darkness.
