swimming race 13:09 [3] 0.55 km (23:55 / km)
Craggy Island triathlon on Kerrera. Pretty aprehensive before the start. It was a long time since I'd done any swimming and I wasn't very good when I did it then... Actually was OK! Quite enjoyed it in the wetsuit. Probably should have tried to push a bit harder but made it accross. About 3min down on the quickest.
Note
Transition 1. 2min38. General faffing about. Top guys did it in under 1min!
Cycling race 36:04 [3] 15.0 km (2:24 / km) +200m 2:15 / km
Mountain bike - circular route around the south of Kerrera. Started off OK. Passed a lot of people in the first quarter then started to struggle a bit with the rougher bits. Too rusty on a mountain bike. Went over the handlebars in a burn but came away fairly unscathed. Generally a bit slow over the middle third then faster over the easier finishing stretch. Good fun though. Fastest guy did 30 and he was actually behind me on the swim.
Note
Transition 2. 1.10. Around 40s for most of the top guys. Did start running the wrong direction to start with though.
Running race 21:39 [5] 4.0 km (5:25 / km) +189m 4:23 / km
shoes: Inov8 x-talon
Final leg of the tri. A nice wee run up and over the top of the highest point on Kerrera. Went pretty well passing half a dozen folk and still felt quite strong. Quickest time by 1min30. Fun day. Great weather. Fancy doing something similar again. Now to improve my mountain biking...

Nice evening. Steady run to the castle then along the coastal path and back over the hills. Tired before I went out then felt nice and easy once I got into it. Craggy island tri tommorow!

Wee run in the Moffat valley on route to Rowanbank. Up past the grey mares tail to Loch Skeen. Then took a nice run up a ridge onto the top and ran back over the top of White Coomb with a wee pause on the top to admire the view. Legs a bit sore but pushed quite hard.

Wee run with Jess. My 2nd ascent of Ben Cruachan. This time with much better looking company:P Ran from near the power station up the recognised route past the resevoir, to the coll and up. No snow this time just rocks near the top and thick mist too. Pea soup on the summit which typically cleared half way down. Still a good day out though.

Running 59:50 [3] 8.3 km (7:13 / km) +360m 5:55 / km
shoes: Inov8 x-talon
Run around the woods at Glen Nant. Crackin bit of forest and would be well worth mapping (it's a nature reserve so maybe thats why it's not). Mature natural woodland, quite hill. Odd bit of rock. Just ran around for a while trying to roughly gage my direction. Used Ben Cruachan as a guide. Found a path again after a while so followed it for a wee bit and it brought me back in a loop so went out for another 20mins.
