Orienteering 1:30:00 [3] *** 5.0 km (18:00 / km) +40m 17:18 / km
shoes: Inov 340 Pair #2
Little Mill training map S of Inverness. Spent the evening trading the map between Brenda, Aidan, and myself. All TD4 controls until the end when Brenda and I each tried TD5. Brenda and I will race TD5 and Aidan TD3; he is ready we might not be.
Pulled off at least a dozen ticks after this trip to the woods.
Area was rocky and marsh with some really rough fields. It was fun and good to actually do something with a map after days in the car or on a plane.

Road running (trails) 22:27 [2] 2.49 mi (9:01 / mi) +19m 8:49 / mi
shoes: Saucony protread wide
First run in the UK. Went with Aidan who had worked out a loop with him mom a few hours earlier. Quite pleasant.
My last long run was tossed last weekend due to a badly timed cold and the crunch to get packed up. The past 36 hours has been fun but the driving has been far from relaxing. Off the plane and into a car at Heathrow..... As a warmup, we drove on the left in Australia for over 3 weeks in a manual transmission campervan only three years back. Here, we have a tiny manual Ford Focus and the distances are short BUT the roads are much narrower, busier, and convoluted plus there is a bewildering variety of signage so the challenge has been much steeper. We suspect that texting is much rarer here because nature's selection would be quite severe for the distracted.
