Jane wanted to go orienteering. Couldn't think of a reason until I read the details of the Ayroc event...

"Dog walkers are common so please be considerate."

Indeed. Duly chastised, off we went. Long wait for a recycled map by which time it had stopped raining.

Muirkirk had some interesting mining terrain, all open, but was very rough and physical. Found the 1:100000 (sic) map tough to read so generally went to the appropriate edge of the squiggly bit and looked for the thing. Seemed to work OK. Caught Caspian about 2/3rds of the way round, and too-and-froed all the way back.

C • Pleb-gate final details 2

Parkrun wup and down. Much needed with the sore calf.

Parkrun, cashing in the Cramond dividend to break 20 without really going well. Good conditions, mild easterly.

Rage start when some woman with a dog thought starting at the front was a great idea. Dog failed to move on the b of bang, or the g, or the f. Yes, I know there's no f in bang - I didn't think there should be an f in dog either.

Long lines at download, despite having four people doing the scanning. Not helped by having a burly Scotsman yelling "Four queues" at everyone.

Alnwickhill, Stable Bar, Frogstane, Midmar etc. After work, in the rain, which turned out to be very pleasant.

Craigmillar, Ghost town, ERI, Moredun, back.

Unexpectedly tiring KB-Sprintelope related faffage: checking the gates were open, putting out the markers, bringing in the markers.

Meadows, lap and home

Intervals. Arrived direct from a show, no warm up, tight calf so bailed on the first one after 200m. Then cautious second and sped up a bit in a limping kind of way protecting the leg for the last three: 3:55, 48, 47, 48.

Monday run. Nice. Hamstring tight rather than sore.
