| Did a pairs map memory course at Roseisle with Kir as we only had one map between us. Lovely running, running well and easily, but navigating a bit patchily, not concentrating enough in the circle. |

Sunday May 20 |
| Orienteering 54:55 [4]***** | |
| ahr:162 max:181 spiked:18/22c slept:8.0 shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Mark's re-planned course at Allt Cailleach. 12 minutes or so warm up then 43 mins or so of intense control picking. Really good fun, legs totally done by the end, the last couple of hills were a real test! |
| Recovery 27:31 [2] | |
| ahr:148 max:171 shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Nice warm down run with Mark and Doug while waiting for Ross to return with the mini bus and all our kit! Feeling much better for it at the end, nice stretch too. |
Saturday May 19 |
| Orienteering 1:06:11 [4]***** 7.6 km (8:43 / km) | |
| ahr:178 max:187 spiked:14/18c slept:8.0 shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Boys course training at Balnagowan. Legs tired but still running strongly, had a good head to head with Alex and Kyle at the end just as I was starting to lose motivation. Really good fun. Misjudged a couple of the slope legs slightly. |
| Orienteering 32:30 [5]***** 4.1 km (7:56 / km) | |
| ahr:179 max:191 spiked:10/16c shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Relay course at Crathes. Really let the pressure of having Mark and Doug chase get to me, and was orienteering like a total muppet in some places, not planning ahead enough and drifting in the direction of Ross ahead (bad idea). Running really well and hard, totally knackered by the end. Orienteering like an idiot though! |
