| Was feeling a lack of motivation for training after a long day at the lab, so needed a it of a different session to persuade me to go out of the door. So did 50 minutes of those crazy 15 x 15 Foxdals and really enjoyed them. Went on paths, up hills, through thick grass, etc etc, and the really short interval really helps you focus on good running style in all directions, and was tougher aerobically than I was expecting. Powered up Craiglockhart to end the session, then jogged back down home. Really enjoyed it, good way to get myself out after feeling totally whacked and demotivated. |

| Cycling to Leith PS, to work, then back home. Really busy day and totally knackered so no circuits, just a restful evening of first year report writing! |
 | Orienteering 50:13 [3]***** 2.5 km (20:05 / km) | |
| ahr:139 max:164 shoes: Saucony Cohesion |
| Possibly one of the hardest things I have ever done! Line course in the intricate part at Lossie, time includes run out and back. Really really tough, had to go out a couple of times and come back in to refocus. Reading the lines much better by the end, but took some really powerful concentration. Fantastic day's training. |

| SOL at Glen Truim. Ran hard the whole way but not necessarily fast with some beasting hills. Certainly coped far better with the tough terrain than last weekend. Orienteered confidently but was slightly thrown by a few map errors. |

Saturday May 12 |
 | Orienteering 1:03:40 [4]***** 5.5 km (11:35 / km) | |
| ahr:165 max:190 spiked:11/13c slept:10.0 shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Kitch's free line exercise at Loch Vaa. Totally couldn't read the mao on the first couple, then talked through the next three or so with Andy, got into the map, regained my focus and much better after that. Bit hungry so not running brilliantly but keeping going slowly but strongly through the heather. |
 | Orienteering 1:08:09 [4]***** 7.3 km (9:20 / km) | |
| ahr:169 max:185 spiked:16/19c shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Brown course at Craigbui. Really wet but brilliant area, nice course with some varied leg length and visiting the sparse trickier areas of the maps. Running strongly and really enjoyed it, finding controls generally confidently aside from a couple of misinterpretations of what was going on. |
