Arthur's seat with James. Drove down, then ran crags, to the top whinny and back over the crags. Wet but still good fun

C • Wrong. 3

Parkrun. Late decision to run when it looked too wet to go out on the bike. Turned out Ok though. Similarly with last time, got passed by Joyce in the last 500 m. So, first M55+, just the one W60 ahead...

To parkrun, parked a ways away thanks to road closures

With james, out through Craigmillar and ERI,

Couldn't do the standing on one leg one after a week break

Mortonhall Galachlaw loop. Ran back across the Junior golf course above the Hermitage. I hadn't noticed before, how everything is gone now, and there's a bit of rewilding going on. Whether we'll get the flower meadow back is another issue.

Day 5. Landshut M55 1st
It was a castle. I raced it. The we went into some unbelievably steep spur-gully stuff with hand over hand climb vs 3x the distance going round on a path. Not sure the scramble was ever right.
Dead level with Arne at #8, the effort of the week caught up and the mistakes crept in. For him. So trundled back with a 3:10 win, leaving aside the 29 minutes for the M18s, which was enough for a beer mug in the overalls.

Jane also won, more convincingly with less scrambling. Also snuck past the Borderliners Paul & Judy Johnson in the teams. Kudos to Paul for winning overall without winning a day!

C • Racing in overalls 5

Some, at the airport. Proved really hard to do this with brken routine last week.

Regensburg Urban.
Had checked the old map, and it looked like being very straightforward, so went off hard and stayed flat out. Sure enough it was easy, so apart from getting distracted by the wrong Xing point control, managed to win all the legs except, obviously, the 12% deficit on the run in and a few seconds on the dead run to #1. Won by 2+mins overall!
Turns out to be a bit fortunate, jane's course was quite tricky.

From Matting to Bad Abbach, crossing the Danube and back via Donaufahre. Sit up and begs, so hard work.
