| 11-Person Relay at Loch Vaa. Cool, damp, breezy. Average sort of run on a great area, a bit spoiled by high bracken in the first part. Hadn't taken on board how much shortened my paces were through the bracken, heather and brashings and slowed early for at least three controls. |

| Steady run around Lowry's Den and Penicuik Estate. Tracks muddier than expected, having had a few days of decent weather, calling for a bit more effort than planned. |

| Took the road bike out for a spin before changing the rear cassette from competition to touring - nowadays it's getting too hard to push up the steep hills. Took the familiar loop via Carlops and Auchencorth Moss - lovely weather, great wee ride. |

| Rare lunchtime visit to gym and found a circuits class running with slightly different format: 30secx3x4x4. Entertaining, and worked hard. |

| Running race (Orienteering) 50:00 [5] *** | |
| spiked:10/11c |
| Back from a week of fieldwork; recovering from slight cold.
Score at Cademuir. Only controls visited in ascending order of value counted. Time judgement throughout the race becomes more critical - can I fit in another 20-pointer before moving on to the 30-pointers? Good fun. |
