Trail 54:04 [3] 3.6 km (15:01 / km) +403m 9:38 / km
shoes: ORoc 340
Morven solstice run
Lovely night but didn't feel good from the getgo. Seemed fast even across the fields at the beginning. Far faster than it should have done. Struggled behind the others up to near the first flattening then felt it best to call it a day. Wandered back down.
Neither T or I felt good after fish and chips last night... Sleepy this afternoon too. Something not quite right.

Note
Legs shot after last nights hills.
Hills are definitely getting harder and more uncomfortable with age :-(

Orienteering 49:00 [3]
shoes: Mudclaws RED
DNC - Potarch
Poor route (riskier although shorter and a high gate/fence to climb) to 3 and then ran past it. Faffing on wrong side of grot at #4 - basically because I didn't read the map. Too high at #6 as I was looking to climb more steeply than the current direction seemed to take me; couldn't fathom the veg at #10 and probably confused by a posse of long course folk (EM, FW, JM). 6-7 minutes lost at least but fun.
Beginners mistake of untied shoelace too.

Deeside Runners session - headtorch.
Warm up out the Tarland Way.
10 x 90 sec hills with jog back (plus a bit) recovery.
Predictably tough. Managed the 10 pretty consistently.
Warm down back the way after.

Note
Plenty of yesterdays race in the legs. Put in a lot of effort. Probably haven't been slotting in enough rest days recently. Need to do better at that to avoid lurgeys and prolong the longevity of being able to do this stuff.

DR Glen Tanar Relay
2nd (medium) leg in a team with DirkW and JaneO.
Nice first leg from Dirk coming back 5th out of 11.
Chasing MarkT about 100m ahead with DaveH behind. Overtook another guy just before the steep hill, then DH caught Me. Ground out the steep up. We both caught MT on the downhill then DaveO. Stuck to DaveH all the way back but he was 10m ahead at the finish. Back in 2nd (DH was team less and didnt count :-).
3rd fastest leg time behind DH and SamR

Interesting to note that I finished 50s behind DH who had a new hip fitted in May. Gee whiz......
(...but I'm pleased to say that says more about him than about my run..which i was pretty happy with)
