 | Orienteering 27:12 [2] **** 1.4 km (19:26 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Achlean South
Used only my compass as and O tool and got nowhere fast! This was ridiculous for me as it was so unatural and so slow as I got into some pickles in the brashings... |
| Orienteering 16:14 [2] **** 1.1 km (14:45 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Achlean North
More compass gaffs, drifted off to the right but within about 20m and in sight of the controls so perhaps a little improvement, still prefer the visualisation technique.

| Orienteering 31:10 [3] 2.5 km (12:28 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Achlean Long Legs
More torture going on a bearing through the brashings but worth doing the exercise. Did 1-4 and 10-11. |

| Tea shop stop at Loch Inch with yummy cakes and a wee rest - oops, what happened to the diet? |
| Orienteering 30:09 [3] 2.2 km (13:42 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Uath Lochans
Tool-free run through some much lovelier terrain - ahh bliss and more of a skoosh than I thought it would be. I got distracted on the last leg to #10 and went completely off course, should not ever do this - tut tut! |
| Orienteering 11:24 [3] **** 1.1 km (10:22 / km) | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Uath Lochans Sprint
My jippy tummy got steadily worse through the day and was pretty sore by the time I set off on this course so I didn't exactly feel like moving quickly through the terrain never mind sprinting. I don't think I was last though! |

| Run 38:38 [4] | |
| shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw |
| Beecraigs tootle on a beautiful sunny morning. Headed for Cockleroy so did a warm up run first and half way up, I thought I would do it again... and again - three reps of Cockleroy and then a warm down run. Felt good and I didn't find too much mud. |
Wednesday Sep 24 |
| Run 1:06:21 [3] 9 km (7:22 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks GTS |
| Run from Braco with Elle, Roger, Jon, Brad and Mark, this was run at the girls pace for some reason... It was great not to be lagging behind for a change. Most enjoyable run with lots of variety of terrain, fence crossings and some lovely slippery mud to slide about on. Dawn and Roger treated us to a lovely dinner in their dining room with Jamie providing the evening's entertainment!

| Run race 55:04 [5] 10 km (5:30 / km) vdot: 35.7 | |
| shoes: Brooks GTS |
| Linlithgow 10K
This hurt a bit! I tried hard but couldn't make my legs go any faster, it was hot and hillier than Stirling. Only a minute slower than last week but I'm still disappointed. I really really want to run faster than this and be part of the chasing group, not the chaffing group... for this I would need to shed 3kgs at least! Challenge is on and I now have less than ten weeks to do it, yikes! |
