Long race around the Montjuic, starting and finishing in the althletics stadium. The start was good, but then there was this bit in the castle and there was a control that was marked on the map as an uncrossable wall inbetween some garden and out-of-bounds. Turns out, the control feature hadn't been marked on the map.....
And I also got stabbed in the wrist by a plant, which was v. painful and distracting.

BUT I was the only person on my course, so won :D

BARCELONA!

Sprint Race around some park/houses/office areas & next to the sea. Much much fun :)
The map was a little rubbish and there was one control which was surrounded by thick black lines but apart from that, a pretty good race.

Jogging and drills before and after the race

Strength work in the gym

Treadmill intervals with Hector after strength work.

Morning run. Just me and Ola hitting the Meadows this morning....
Was getting some major plodding on, well knackered from yesterday.

went and helped Alice hand some of the FWTN controsl around Craigmillar and the housing estate. Only got a little bit of abuse from some children.

Toni took the bus over to Stirling and did part of a course around a wood near Aberfoyle. Only took a petzel type torch and no compass as I didn't realise we would be orienteering, so wasn't amazingly fast/acurate.

FVO Night Race at Plean Country Park. Managed to borrow a proper headtorch for this race and didn't really need a compass as it was a much easier area. Mass start thing, was running with a few people until about half way when they all disappeared.
Good race, only a few small mistakes.

Morning run

Same old, same old....
2 x 2km - times were 9.55, 9.54
3 x 1km - times were - 4.30, 4.25, 4.26

Finished with 6 x about 7 second sprints.
