trail/hill running 7:16 [3] 1.11 km (6:33 / km)
orienteering 58:49 [3] 9.91 km (5:56 / km) +150m 5:31 / km
Legs surprisingly felt semi decent despite only have 3hrs sleep and done my biggest week yet. My nav was mostly good just a few minor slips in the circles costing about 4 mins in total. Was just a bit annoyed that we had travelled all that way to have so many td3 legs and lots of path running with little routechoice, not impressed. Wish i did the blue as it looked much more fun. Also was very certain 3 was in the wrong place but no one else seemed to agree with me when I brought it up so i was just probably wrong again
trail/hill running 10:00 [3] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)

trail/hill running 6:09 [3]
orienteering 16:59 [3] 3.27 km (5:12 / km) +26m 5:00 / km
Tried up until 7 but made a stupid mistake on it and had no motivation. Felt really rough and definitely still suffering from Affric. A really nice technical course and nailed all the routechoice bar 7 just couldn't hack the pace. Also saw 2 doors open by a stairwell of a block of flats and nipped through to save me going around the building

trail/hill running 4:35 [3] 0.75 km (6:07 / km)
orienteering 33:00 [3] 5.05 km (6:32 / km) +103m 5:56 / km
Was a fun course especially the first few controls but made a mistake to 9 by going through part of the green and then lost energy, was still suffering from glen affric. Made a small mistake on 12 then euan caught me on 13 and hung with him and dom until the finish
kayaking 1:29:00 [3] 2.2 km (40:27 / km)
orienteering 17:40 [3] 2.8 km (6:19 / km) +58m 5:43 / km
Managed to get one scarf and even led the train on a leg but struggled to keep the pace after being sick from downing the irn bru

kayaking 2:32 [3] 0.8 km (3:10 / km)
trail/hill running 25:00 [3] 2.2 km (11:22 / km) +122m 8:54 / km
orienteering 1:45:00 [3] 9.4 km (11:10 / km) +417m 9:09 / km
was running with jamie and we swapped nav halfway through each leg. We were picking good routes and running well, 9.30s up until 4 where everything slowed down a bit. When i ran here before the selection races i remembered the forest being more runnable and distinct that it was at the start but oh well. Class few controls but then properly bonked going to 4 and pretty much walked the 2.5k leg from 5 to the finish. I think it was heat stroke as I have had it before and it felt similar
trail/hill running 21:32 [3] 2.1 km (10:15 / km) +15m 9:54 / km
kayaking 2:26 [3] 0.8 km (3:02 / km)

orienteering 1:17:00 [3] 10.01 km (7:42 / km) +206m 6:58 / km
Was not looking forward to the windows exercise as in the very few i have done I have gotten horrifically lost. Was a very pleasant surprise when i spiked every control bar one. It is a much nicer area in summer than winter and it was really useful training
trail/hill running 30:20 [3] 3.42 km (8:52 / km) +2m 8:51 / km
orienteering 36:21 [3] 6.61 km (5:30 / km) +65m 5:14 / km
Did a mini mass start with barney and jamie to make things interesting but we all ended up spooning number 2 and losing 3 mins. I took a more direct route to 6 and used some dirty tactics telling them it wasn't our control and managed to get away. Jamie nearly caught me again at 12 but was all good. Just going to ignore the fact that I placed the last 4 controls and still messed them up and I helped plan and still lost 3 mins on 2

orienteering 2:00:00 [3] 13.0 km (9:14 / km) +250m 8:25 / km
Was in the good side so had to get a boat from findhorn which was cool. Some good o but halfway through the first loop i tripped and landed on a stick and my chest was too sore too run. It eased off after taking painkillers but the. someone whacked me with a stick at lunch so now have a massive lump. didn't even manage to beat jamie in the head to head race

trail/hill running 44:41 [3] 7.48 km (5:58 / km) +339m 4:52 / km
Have absolutely no motivation to run from home so was nice to get a lift over to dingwall and finally reach the summit
Monday Aug 16, 2021 #
biking 3:36:13 [3] 52.0 km (14.4 kph) +1004m

orienteering 37:51 [3] 4.84 km (7:49 / km) +130m 6:54 / km
Finally had a decent run
Made a little slip on 2 coming underneath the crag when it was actually on top. Finlay did the same cos he thought you weren't allowed to put controls on top of crags but oh well. Worst mistake was 6 when I was a bit too high and went down the wrong reentrant costing 3 mins. Last few controls were just a bit grotty but nice area
trail/hill running 12:00 [3] 1.22 km (9:50 / km) +11m 9:25 / km

Horrible area especially at the end where I was in a sea of bracken higher than my head that was all unmapped

trail/hill running 1:01:31 [3] 10.02 km (6:08 / km) +375m 5:10 / km
Was a quality run and loop legs felt fine. Last descent was one of the best trails ive ran down

trail/hill running 14:42 [3] 2.0 km (7:21 / km) +150m 5:21 / km
orienteering 1:02:00 [3] 8.0 km (7:45 / km) +353m 6:21 / km
hmm meh
Didn't make too many mistakes bar a 3 min mess up on control 3 which was annoying. Felt slow running and on the hills which was a bit disappointing. Nice area and cool views over to skye/eigg
Was also a bit wasted from the 5am start
trail/hill running 9:00 [3] 1.0 km (9:00 / km) +2m 8:55 / km
Monday Aug 2, 2021 #
biking 2:08:46 [3] 26.5 km (12.3 kph) +625m
Did the xc world champs route + black crane which were both class. The bottom sections of both started to get boring and stupid with just loads of puncture rocks and nothing actually technical.
Was a bit annoyed because considering how much money they make off just car parking each day the trail were in pretty poor condition and there was relatively few of them. The roughness maybe improved the black but it made the red horrible to ride at parts
swimming 43:32 [3]
Arms got fairly tired at the end but was probably from also holding the gopro

trail/hill running 2:07:00 [3] 9.15 km (13:53 / km) +1006m 8:57 / km
