On the first leg for team cruachan. Hit the front of our gaffle on the climb and then tucked in behind Scott Fraser no point in me going to the front to back. Hit the butterfly loop and he goes out the control the opposite way from me so had to slow down and navigate. Only made a few misses on the rest and was on my own thinking I was miles behind so was happy to come in 4th. Think my fitness is decent after some good hills the last few weeks. Just gonna enjoy running- no more O until six days

Absolutely disgusting- would rather have ran round the jk long area and thats some shrubland beside Gatwick which says a lot about shitty Dalbeattie and Dumfries- but u know just my opinion. A big shame today cos u want the Scottish champs to be competitive and a good race but having it in that forest ruined it completely- in the end there’s a control voided and 20 minutes between first and third like whit??? Strange sport, I’m doing Jura instead next year. Still got a decent result right enough thanks to joe catching me at 14 and following him. Had made a tonne of mistakes by then and just wanted out. Didn’t look at the map for a few legs but then joe told me to come through so I did and we worked quite well together after 18. Only people that enjoy that sort of orienteering is olav lundanes. U know somethings wrong when ur closing ur eyes to scramble through the green without dying, like trying to escape a nightmare or something, just not fun at all.

With the big man for the last time in a while :(

Nice early morning out and back along the hill. Felt a wee bit sluggish right enough, jog tomorrow and rest Friday (if piping everyone over to jura counts as rest not sure it does)

Easy road before breakfast. Went taps aff for some reason which was daft cos it was like 7 degrees. Seen the tiny map for Saturday and it looked more like the Lake District tbh which makes sense cos it’s closer to England than Glasgow:( Still be good fun

C • Saturday 2

Nice wee lap of aviemore with Pete before breakfast and lunchtime bus home. Great weekend and can face a few days of revision this week- nearly there
