| SOSOL 5 at John Muir Country Park. Legs still a bit tired after the hard run on Friday night so I was probably not as fast over the ground as I might have been. No serious mistakes and generally pretty accurate. Time was one of my best on a Brown for a long time although the winning times were also very quick as well. |

| Saw the clear blue skys and with no more meetings in the diary I rushed home early. By the time I'd reached the summit of Arthurs Seat there was hail and gail force winds.
Ran OK. Still a bit tired from Sunday's race. Stopped to a walk on part of the ascent. Calf muscles a bit sore. |

| Prologue Sprint O at Craiglockhart. Didn't think I was going great guns but time was very good relative to normal competitors. No significant mistakes. |

| Final of the Sprint O at Craiglockhart. Missed the start by about 90 secs after the late start - but annoying that. Again seemed to do pretty well. Results not yet posted.
Results now in and did really well. Around 134% of the overall winner and 117% of the VET winner. Not sure what went right today. Felt I was fairly lazy on the hills. |
