Orienteering 3:00:00 [2] 6.0 mi (30:00 / mi)
Hanging, Binning
Running warm up/down 50:00 [1] 4.0 mi (12:30 / mi)
Archerfield - Yellowcraigs, back from Gullane.
Orienteering race 1:01:08 [5] 8.8 mi (6:57 / mi)
Scottish Champs M55 Gullane.
Mike decided not to use Archerfield - Controller and organiser decided I hadn't seen anything of the area post-embargo so was OK to run. And so it went. Couple of days taper. Scrappy early on in Yellowcraigs, then settled into a hard pace. Too hard: mp'ed on the beach, but realised a minute beyond the control. Some terrace-related weirdness coming onto Gullane then got into a good pace and went hard and clean through the dunes. Fading and falling by the end, but forced myself onwards.
...and then...
Big Jon's 15hour week caught up with him. Rob Lee elected not to run, and Ian Maxwell got caught in a massive rainstorm. So in the true spirit of Lefty Gomez, I'm now Scottish Champion :)

Note
So this is awkward. The map and printing was a bit sh*t and ESOC put one of the controls (on another course) in the wrong place. But I devolved my responsibility for all that so I could run :(

Running 9:00 [2] 1.0 mi (9:00 / mi)
In. Feet all swollen up for no obvious reason, except mebbe lack of sleep.
Orienteering race 15:37 [5] 2.8 mi (5:35 / mi)
Tranent SOUL 4th
Ran flat out and hit all the controls. 40sec down on Ian Maxwell.
This made me sad, compared with last Sunday's almighty bollox-up after which I was happy. Which is odd.
