O: SOSOL at Pollok. Blue: 7.0km +135m. Orienteering like a total donkey. Cross with truculent kids before starting, didn't settle down and think about navigation, was very rusty, didn't give the area its due; add all of that up and I missed pretty much every tricky control. The 1:5k map scale didn't help but, basically, I wasn't navigating worth a toss. Punter! Better sharpen up before the British Nights next weekend... At least my knees and back felt OK and survived all the tarmac; was more worried about pulling my back on all the greasy, muddy slopes. TRIMP 116.6.
