Scottish Champs Relay - Drumlanrig Castle 2nd
On 1st leg again with Rona then Sarah.
Had the far right hand control at 1 so was behind everyone already (again! ). But this time didn't panic and slowly reeled in Grace and Laura over the next couple of controls, waiting for the splits to even out again. But turns out we didn't have any other splits, just the order of the loops, which all 3 of us had the same! Was very surprised to see Ben and Will at 5 and thought they must've changed to the A course or something!
Started to struggle a bit heading up to the loops. Breathing was getting quite wheezy from all the climbing. Managed to cling on to Laura through the loops, but Grace got away a bit towards the end of the 2nd one. Was walking any small incline by the this point and just trying to hang on. Then hadn't fully decided which track to take to 18 so ended up flailing in the green between them for a bit before bailing to the southern track, by which point Laura and Grace had gapped me by 30sec. So bit annoying not to send Rona out with them, but still much better than JK.
Sarah managed to pass FVO on last leg and gain on EUOC but not quite enough in the end. So 2nd place :)

Hadn't planned on doing much today but the sun was out so headed off down the coast for a spin and ended up turning into rather a long ride!
Along the coast to Longniddry, across to Haddington then winged my way back along some country roads and paths, eventually ending up on the Pencaitland railway path. Had to stop for Lucozade and egg sandwich at Newcraighill as I was beginning to bonk from lack of water/lunch. Good fun!

Sprintelope - Astley Ainslie
Made a right mess of #4. Chose what I thought was a good route, then turned down a driveway too early. Came back out and down the one I was supposed to go down, only to realise it was blocked off at the end. So turned round and went back down the first driveway I'd turned into! Got more into the flow of it after that. Although definitely could have done without the last 2.5km of purely running!
