Event: FVO Regional Event, World Ranking Event & Scottish O League 1
 

SOL1 and WRE, the Trossachs. M21E, 10.6 km and 700+m climb. Superb orienteering, and physically as tough as expected. No hiding mediocre fitness on this one! Scott Fraser was 87 mins (now that's impressive!) and the rest of the field was well strewn out behind. Technically not too bad at all except for one big (6 min) error on a tricky one that it seems everyone else screwed up as well. Physically it completely destroyed me. There's a bit of work to be done there!

Warm up

Event: FVO Middle Distance Race
 

UK cup middle distance at Touch - vets class (4.3 km). It's really a nice little area. Fun orienteering through all the bumps. Feeling tired after a long week, but the race went smoothly until a silly couple of minutes of confusion at 15, having run to within metres of the control first time off. Ah well.

Warm up.

Commute. Minging, rainy day.

With Finlo up into Dunbeg Forest. Easyish pace but feeling tired.

An easy run around Dunstaffnage peninsular and along the nearest coastal hills to stretch the legs a bit after too much work the last few days. Picked up the first tick of the year - I guess the cold weather didn't knock them back too much!

Filled in the last corners of the map.

A few hours mapping at Mossfield for the Gaelic games.
