Running (Hill) 1:02:00 [3]
Plan was to run from Flotterstone up Allermuir Hill in the snow. Fairly deep snow from Castlelaw fort car park onwards. Was enjoying myself but got cold fast in a snow shower most of the way up and, lacking another layer, turned back and ran around some more at low level.

Orienteering race 1:07:21 [5] 8.5 km (7:55 / km)
ELO Festive Frolic - one control per letter of the alphabet - puzzles at each as to where to go next (out of three options) - mass start in 5 groups - must be back at 60'00. Very enjoyable. Mostly ran in a pack of four people which dissolved and reformed a few times for about half the course which added to the fun as we tried to get away from each other.
Almost got round in the hour - not helped by having pressed 'set time' on my watch rather than 'start stopwatch' at the beginning I was not sure what the time was or how many controls I had left. I arrived at what I hoped might be the last control 300m from the finish but which turned out to be the penultimate control at what turned out to be 58'46. Then got confused, didn't think and ran to what I thought was the only one of the three listed controls that I hadn't been to... wrong... then another control I didn't need to go to... and pitched up 7'21 late having missed the last control and (it transpired) having failed to punch the 6th control.
Fun race but useful reminder before the season gets going of how easy it is to do daft things when tired at the end of races... and the need to not mispunch. Happy to have run hard but had no injury problems - knee felt uncomfortable early on but settled.
