Running 3:06:04 [3] 33.88 km (5:30 / km) +304m 5:15 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 7
With Rog, from the event car park at Alvie.
Rog had sussed a quality route along the river to Kincraig, over the bridge and on a track to Feshiebridge, then into the forest through Rothiemurchus and past Loch an Eilein, down to Coylumbridge and then back along the B road past Inshriach (looking enviously at the coffee shop with the fantastic cakes) to Feshiebridge then back to Alvie.
Probably about 35-40% tarmac with the rest on forest roads and good tracks.
Struggling a bit by the end but a great run.

shoes: VJ Falcon 2013
Orienteering race 40:44 [5] 6.52 km (6:15 / km) +134m 5:40 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon 2013
Ran to the wrong thicket at #6 and looked back to see the flag (-30/40s) but okay apart from that. Pretty easy for the most part to be honest.
Running warm up/down 13:22 [2] 1.97 km (6:47 / km) +20m 6:27 / km
shoes: VJ Falcon 2013
Running warm up/down 12:25 [2] 1.66 km (7:29 / km) +10m 7:16 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
Orienteering race 16:22 [5] 3.47 km (4:43 / km) +46m 4:25 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
Men Vet won by Roger in 14:56 but Nick B on Men Open did 13:36 behind Murray with 12:45.
About a minute or so off the pace of DaveR, jayh and Ben, similarly a minute back on Tess and Zoe H.
Can't really claim I did much wrong. Maybe not quite the best route on one or both of the two long legs but all pretty marginal, just not moving quickly enough.
Running warm up/down 7:51 [2] 1.24 km (6:20 / km)
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 2013
Running 56:18 [3] 9.73 km (5:47 / km) +148m 5:23 / km

5km along the bike path apparently.
Which I was persuaded to turn into '8km the scenic way'
Which turned out to be 10km with the first 5km uphill.....
Although it was indeed very scenic, lovely route along past Loch Gynack and down into Newtonmore at the very end.

Running 50:44 10.95 km (4:38 / km)
shoes: Brooks Ghost 7
15min warmup
6x1km with 1min recovery
5min warmdown
First two into the strong headwind. Looking forward to the last four with the wind behind. Didn't seem to be going much faster on those. Which was later revealed by my Garmin to be the case. All between 4:02 and 4:16. Kept losing concentration and drifting off mid-rep into thoughts of RTC tasks that need to be done!

Note
(rest day)
Then just any sort of run.
Finally stopped work/RTC stuff at 8pm and straight for dinner.
My RTC excuses for poor training not really holding much water when Spongey is organising the Edinburgh day and still knocking out over 70mpw....

Running 47:16 7.3 km (6:28 / km) +105m 6:02 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost 7
But Race the Castles is very time demanding.
Plan changed to meeting GG and Ross for some scheming around final RTC arena logistics.
Then eventually managed to get out with Ross for a bit of a token effort round Stirling.
