A good session after the weekend as no impact.
Session with the physio after session.

12.00pm: STAG Glasgow City Race Weekend - Glasgow City Centre. MUV Course 4. 4.9km 70m climb.
1-2 slow in making decision, opted not to do the stairs. 3-4 lost 30 secs as took right route and no way through so ended up doing unnecessary stairs and 2 sides of a triangle. Clean through 7, but hesitated at control 7. Clean though 14 with slight hesitations to be certain as map very detailed in this area. 14-15 lost 20-25 seconds as turned right too early and took a moment to realize error and back track. 15-18 fine. 18-20 running hard and did not realize until I downloaded that I missed 19 which was an easy control. 20 to finish pretty straight forward navigation so tried to push the running.
I really enjoyed the course especially the first section around Strathclyde University. Clearly I have some work to do on courses with multiple controls to ensure I visit them all especially towards the latter part of the course.
An excellent weekend by STAG.

3.00pm: STAG Glasgow City Weekend - part 1 Glasgow Univ North, Part 2 Glasgow University South & Kelvingrove Park Dual Sprint Race. Course 4 3.6 km 70m climb. Because of University Avenue, a major road through the area, there was a part 1, then allowed up to 20 mins to cross road and start part 2.

Really enjoyed part 1 on the north side, as very detailed. Lost more than 1.3 mins 4-5, as for some reason mistake control 9 for 5 and then got confused and went back again to 9 when I finally realized the problem. Clean run after that for part 1.
Part 2: clean control 1-11. Lots of people out in the park as a beautiful sunny day, so lost some time in the circle at 12. For Part 2 I had forgotten to put my magnifying glasses on again, so was having a hard time reading the control code numbers. Thought I had gone to 13, but misread the control code number as 80, not 60 which was close by. I should have slowed down a bit at this intricate last few controls, and lost some time.
A bummer to find when I downloaded that I had mispunched 13.
Still an enjoyable event. Good job to Ross for organizing.
