| A whole day at home for the first time in months, feeling rubbish with a sore throat and just in time for the holidays! Have drunk gallons of fruit juice cocktails. |
Wednesday Dec 19 |
| Night Orienteering race (Street O) 45:00 [4] 5.5 km (8:11 / km) | |
| shoes: Saucony Triumph |
| Christmas Street O complete with festive gear round the streets of Dunblane, santa suits and reindeer headwear were the most popular choice - much to the surprise of some locals! Louise and I ended up running together due to lack of battery charge in her headtorch. We ended up off the map and had to ask a dog walker how to get out of the housing estate that we ended up in - whoops! The course was NOT 4.2km, reckon more like 8km. DNF owing to time constraints. |

Sunday Dec 16 |
| Run (Terrain) 1:44:09 [4] 14 km (7:26 / km) | |
| shoes: Walsh |
| Terrain run with FVO in woods above Dunblane. Got off to a slow start and Jason was not joking when he said it was a terrain run as it was loops through the trees, although there were a lot less loops for me as I was bringing up the rear as per usual. I was sent on ahead but managed to go completely the wrong way (90 degrees wrong but did see a fox run past), thankfully I worked out where I was on the map and arrived at the reservoir just before Jon, Ross and Jason. Did more loops (pretty much ran around in circles) in the nice bits of wood before I saw the guys again, headed back up the hill and the guys went off to do their thing. By this point I was feeling pretty good and decided to keep going and head further up to the monument and down again, but missed the tiny path down hill and ended up on another wee donder round another loop through the woods. Pheeeeeeeew! Arrived back safely before any search party had to be organised and to a lovely bowl of Janine's soup and half of one of Louise's yummy muffins. |
