Running 4:30:00 [1] 25.0 km (10:48 / km) +1500m 8:18 / km
shoes: Roclite 318 GTX
Sgurr na Lapaich, Mam Sodhail, Carn Eige and Tom a' Choinich with dad and the dog. Walking anything more than a slight incline. Great runnable ridges though would've been quality if I was a bit fresher.

Orienteering race 2:24:34 [2] 17.1 km (8:27 / km) +490m 7:24 / km
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 340
Day 6, Coulmony
Tempting to use my early start as an excuse (didn't run day one so was third starter, then all the euromeeting boys went out before the rest of the field) but really I just don't have the strength or stamina for these long races. And I make too many mistakes. Also got bad cramp and had to walk 29 and 30 - need to take more salty food, only had a single gel. Good battle with Steve Birkinshaw for the middle bit of the course though.

Day 5, Roseisle
First proper technical day, and I wasn't very good. Slowed down after the first 4 controls and it went a bit better, but still making big mistakes. Lovely forest though.

Day 4, Loch of Boath
Fine except for losing concentration after passing Mark B, and consequently leaving 10 in a dodgy direction.

Orienteering race 1:15:56 [4] 10.8 km (7:02 / km) +105m 6:42 / km

Day 3, Culbin
Two 1 min mistakes near the start and got caught by Ben. Stuck to the paths whilst he went straight but kept coming together again just before the controls at which point one of us (more often him) would spot it. Lost a minute at the end when I went around but the forest was actually runnable for a change.

Day 2, Carse of Ardersier
Solid start to the week. Legs feeling fresh after not running yesterday and late start probably helped.
