I woke up and it was really nice and sunny, got a bit excited and dragged Oli out for a pre-breakfast jog. Went out to the lighthouse, along the boardwalk above the crags, onto the beach and then back through San Pedro to the camp site. It was nice to get out, but my ankle was sore.

Butterfly loops on Pedreanes. Three loops of varying length and technicality. Used the first loop to get into the map, trying to visualise the leg and the control circle. Then ran the second two loops without a compass. It was quite hard in places but really made me think about what I was doing and ended up being a useful exercise.

Praia da Vieira. Ran this exercise harder than this morning, trying to simplify the legs down and run hard into the control circle. Got together with Rob about half way round and we ran together, taking different lines and having a bit of a race through the controls. Enjoyed it, and pleased with my navigation at speed.
