| Note | |
| rhr:6 (injured) | ||

Sunday Jun 29 | ||
| Event: MTB-O Championships | ||
| Note | |
| slept:6.0 (injured) | ||
| Knee feeling pretty good this morning. Quads less tight - managed to stretch out a bit more yesterday. | ||
| Cycling race (MTBO) 1:24:38 [4]** 14.67 km (5:46 / km) +445m 5:01 / km | |
| 12/15 on course. 3/4 W21 category. 7/8 women.
22 mins behind first woman on course. Having to make sure you obeyed one way trails made route choice interesting. Should have taken main track from 8-9 rather than singletrack - but it was fun! Great to have singletrack choices to use skills rather than just forest road options. Very aware of increased rolling resistance with Nevegal tyres - appreciated the grip at times tho, but really mostly on hard tracks so Fast-track tyres would have been fine. Knees aching but eased within a couple of hours - analgesics no doubt helped! | ||
Medium 'B' - Splits | ||
Saturday Jun 28 | ||

| Running (Rehab) 27:37 [1]4.61 km (5:59 / km) | |
| shoes: Saucony Grid Nitrous | ||
| Knee quite achey today, but improved during run & felt much better afterwards. Right quads still tight but unable to stretch out properly as knee will not flex enough...yet. | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:00:00 [0] | |
| At least Luna has had lots of attention this week - feeling fitter as a result already! | ||
| Cycling (Rehab) 33:30 [1]10.38 km (3:14 / km) | |
| Slight right medial knee pain, but not bad at all. Good to get back on bike! | ||
Friday Jun 27 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:6.0 (injured) | ||
| Knees & R quads aching a bit today - not surprising after yesterday's run. | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:00:00 [0] | |

| Running (Rehab) 42:05 [2]6.63 km (6:21 / km) +85m 5:58 / km | |
| shoes: Saucony Grid Nitrous (New) | ||
| Now that is more like it!! Knees feeling so much better today - left knee discomfort negligible. Right knee improving during run - quads tightness ++ & difficulty stretching out properly as knee doesn't want to bend that much yet.
Did have a stop after ~35 mins for a very interesting chat! | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 2:00:00 [0] | |
| Around Beecraigs inc trot & canter work when able.
Temper tantrum on last section of path out of park - refusing to stand! | ||

| Running (Rehab) 20:00 [0]2.93 km (6:50 / km) | |
| shoes: Saucony Grid Nitrous | ||
| Very, very slow! Knees ached about as much as I expected - hence very slow pace to minimise discomfort. Felt good to be out jogging in the fresh air tho. | ||
Tuesday Jun 24 | ||

| C • boo 2 | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:15:00 [0] | |

Monday Jun 23 | ||
| Note | |
| slept:6.5 (injured) | ||
| Knee pain very manageable as long as I take both ibuprofen & paracetamol together. Walking downhill most difficult due to increased forces on patella. | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:15:00 [0] | |
| Less knee pain today in trot & even when Luna spooking. | ||

| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:00:00 [0] | |
| Lengthened stirrups a hole to allow more comfortable knee position. Pain whenever Luna spooked, but pretty well behaved despite windy weather. Mainly walk - trot uncomfortable for knee. | ||

| Orienteering 55:00 [4]*** | |
| shoes: Adidas Swoop | ||
| O-training at Bonaly. Intensity due to hills - not good on hills as a warm up..
Two exercises in pairs: Aiming off (with distraction!) - 20.08 Line course - 21.42 Didn't find myself easily distracted tonight - think that happens when I am getting more tired or less sure of my decisions....... | ||
Tuesday Jun 17 | ||
| Climbing (Indoor) 3:00:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Boreal Joker | ||
| Fair bit of time bouldering to start - half way up red route, nailed white route I used to find difficult, sorted green route with some help (change to body position allowed 2nd top hold to be used as side pull = cracked it!) & started playing on blue ceiling route.
Climbing with someone new - 5+ blue route on right hand wall NOT a 5+ - much more difficult. Seconding 6a routes on left hand wall - only getting ~half way but getting tired... esp arms. | ||

| Error 4 to 5 - didn't check compass enough & undergrowth pushed me off line.
Otherwise very happy with map reading today. Some sections of brashings, but overall actually got some running on the course & enjoyed today much more as a result! | ||
| Cycling (Trails) 1:03:32 [3]11.16 km (5:42 / km) | |
| Carron Valley - first visit to these trails. Did top loop 2x - had a good look at Kelpie's Staircase - will ride very nicely I think...... but not today! Rather nice trail - good enough for me to go back to & practice skills. | ||
| Horse riding (Hacking) 1:30:00 [0] | |
| Hack with Laura - slow pace with dog for company too. | ||

2x down Spooky Wood & first time on Pie Run (also when losing daylight). Return to top car park to do Electric Blue & new blue route finish. Need more bike time with others to improve speed. | ||

Tuesday Jun 10 | ||
| Climbing 2:30:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Boreal Joker | ||
| Mix of bottom rope, lead climbs & bouldering. Not choosing routes well.
Lacking confidence to push for last hold on green climb on boulder - long drop if I miss it! Poor on red boulder climb - tried at end of night & arms fatigued. Half hour of normal climbing time lost for AGM of new Club. | ||
Monday Jun 9 | ||

| Orienteering 1:05:56 [2] | |

Alternative was a long run on roads, but very strong wind made that option much less appealing! More shelter in park. | ||

| Orienteering (Map memory/hill reps) 23:35 [3] | |
| shoes: Adidas Swoop | ||
| O training at Bonaly.
Warm up time to memorise a master map. Exercise of map memory with map cut up into sections with an o-symbol attached. Hill reps to/from master map and map bits. Fill in a grid with o-symbol. Time recorded for exercise only. Good fun & didn't really notice hill reps as trying to remember bits of map. Also tried to push speed on reps as need to do more speed work. Warm down back to car park & checking permanent control sites. | ||

6a lead climb from last week - struggled more this week. Didn't seem to pick good routes up wall. Got to top of new red route on boulder! Declimbing much less easy... | ||

Punched 25/27 controls - one misplaced & one brought in early (before all other available controls had been punched!). Actual running time less than this - forgot to stop stopwatch!! | ||
Sunday Jun 1 | ||
| Cycling (Laggan Wolftrax) 2:02:47 [2]10.66 km (11:31 / km) | |
| Disappointing today. Combination of fatigue & inconsiderate remarks about injuries! Confidence low & not committing to sections I could complete. Practice needed on mega large berms to build sufficient speed to improve technique. Need to go back again! | ||
