run around the long model. steep heather and marshes and very tough going. still nice to have a run around. plenty of midges.

morning run with some strides. feeling ok, but not great. back has eased out a bit.

WOC relay. third leg. headed out in 16th after a really good 2nd leg by Hanny. there was a bit of a string of runners in front and a few close behind. the first control was pretty easy and I had the long split on that one, and could see other runners on the other splits. the next section of the course was into the big splitting with 6 options, of which we did 2 on the course. had a bit of a brain fade, but stopped until I sorted it out. good through the next section and map change but made a mistake in a really vague area at 10. I'd picked the hill I thought it was on from a way back but it turned out to be wrong. bailed to the track and came back in at the right place. got the next round of splitting ok, and good through to the finish. didn't see anyone at all from the map change to the finish.
pretty happy with the run overall, and running much better than yesterday.
the forest was mostly really nice - exactly what we had been looking forward to at Darnaway.

warm up and warm down.

morning run with strides. still half asleep.

WOC middle. legs never showed up.

easy run with some strides. legs feeling a bit heavy still.
