Running warm up/down 7:53 1.2 km (6:34 / km) +47m 5:30 / km
ahr:152 max:168 shoes: Inov-8 O-Roc 250 (2)
Jog to the start, from about halfway (when I remembered to start my watch).
Orienteering race 1:35:25 7.34 km (13:00 / km) +416m 10:08 / km
ahr:143 max:160 shoes: Inov-8 O-Roc 250 (2)
Short Brown: 5.7km +465m. Nervous, my first run here in 20 years, and was predictably rubbish off the start, totally unprepared for the terrain. Missed 5 mins at #1, 10 mins down by #3. Finally started orienteering and was average and occasionally good thereafter, although never really attacking the terrain, and the damage was done. And done was what I was, by the end! Ate the entire ScotJos cake stall after finishing. TRIMP 183.9.

Orienteering race 38:35 5.15 km (7:30 / km) +156m 6:31 / km
ahr:153 max:167 shoes: VJ Irocs
Blue course. Should have warmed up! 10 mins before I was moving and navigating properly, can't afford that on a middle - 2 minutes gone by then. Solid enough afterwards. TRIMP 94.3.

Event: Dark Thistle
8 PM
Orienteering race 1:04:22 **** 6.98 km (9:13 / km) +241m 7:52 / km
ahr:156 max:169 shoes: VJ Irocs
Dark Thistle short course (5km). The most gigglesome race of the year so far! Bog, brash, lumpy & squelchy, soft carpet and total ming, with torches here, there and everywhere. Keystone Cops stuff, grinning from ear to ear all the way. Awesome - cheers, all! TRIMP 170.5.
Edit: wrong #10! I see what I did - I took the wrong line from combined control #3/7/11 to combined control #1/4/13 (or whatever). Had my finger over the control number. Easy enough done in the dark, I suppose, but - still, silly mistake.

(rest day)
Forewent tonight's hill reps in order to go to Dounans with B to plan Saturday's string course (oops). TBH I was feeling a bit too rough to do the reps anyway, for some reason.
The Lion and Unicorn in Thornhill still serves excellent vittels!

Running (Trail run) 31:53 6.34 km (5:02 / km) +167m 4:27 / km
ahr:152 max:163 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016
Gathering Stane, standard. In places that felt like actual running. First time for a long while. Progress?
Today's excuse was going to be emergency root canal, but since it was only half my face that was numb post-treatment and my legs were fully functional, I applied rule 5. Glad I did, it was great to get out. Trail not too boggy - fingers crossed for the Trossachs parking field at the weekend! TRIMP 75.1.

Between dropping off the motorbike for its service and entertaining the outlaws for dinner, there just wasn't time. My knees will thank me for it, even if my back doesn't.
