Trail Running 31:58 [2] 4.23 mi (7:33 / mi) +40m 7:20 / mi

Round the loch. Managed to match last year's first run to the second. Here's hoping I don't get any slower in 2019!
11 AM

Orienteering 19:44 [4] 2.62 mi (7:32 / mi) +40m 7:11 / mi

Resolution Sprint - Livingston
Enjoyed the course. Steady to #6, then got caught in the trap to #7, like many others, going left after the underpass before realising mistake, so half a minute binned. Bit scrappy at #8. Should've really cut through the trees to #10 but ran the long way round instead (another half minute). Minor wobble on #11 (overshot the right tree) but then fairly solid to the finish. Didn't push it too hard as calves still a bit nippy from Beecraigs. Good training. Finished 9th though turn out slightly stronger this year! Cracking day so headed to Beecraigs for a walk afterwards.

Beecraigs Boxing Day Handicap
Same course apart from going straight on at the deer farm instead of turning right to the loch, which added on maybe 150m over 2 laps and an extra short climb. Conditions excellent this year - mild with a west breeze and not that muddy anywhere. As usual handicapping was pretty harsh, started at 11.36. Set off in a group of 5 with Mike Reid, Elliot Sedman, Ally Brokie and Owen Williams. Mike set the pace down to the dam and I sat in with Elliot. As expected, Elliot pulled away as soon as we started climbing. Ally passed me then wiped out on a very slippy bridge ending his race. Mike stayed within a minute ahead the whole race. Paced it OK though it's always a tough gig. 6th fastest behind Freddie C, Tam Wilson, Elliot, Mike and Sijer Maliun (?).
12 PM

Trail Running 2:00 [2] 0.28 mi (7:08 / mi)

Jog back to the car. Calves very tight.
