SOL @Roseisle. Blue. 1st. Really enjoyed this. Sweet forest, made sure I played it safe in the light green areas and pushed on on the paths. Technical in parts but a lot of dead running also. Didn’t really make any mistakes, just a few max 30second misses in the circle. Pleased to take a win, gutted about inter areas... :(
Running warm up/down 32:59 [3] 6.23 km (5:18 / km)
WU/WD with MacMillan and others
Orienteering race 20:02 [3] 3.96 km (5:04 / km)
Inter area relays 3rd leg. Team came 1st. Set off with Louis and also Duncan Robertson, which was extremely unexpected lol. All glued together with me leading till #14 (the first gaffled control) then split up. Kept the lead to the finish bringing it home for the west lads.
27km with Grandpa. Foul weather to begin with so bailed on first plan and started in glen tanar. Basically grandpas got a new electric bike, which meant I spent this whole bike ride going through the utterly humiliating experience of getting dropped by a 77 year old on any ascent (and there were plenty). Still, I convinced him to let me have a shot and honestly those things are awesome! Get it on high assist mode and half a pedal stroke gets you to mainland Europe!
Woof- Easy long with Torq. Along the pass, back into town before a big loop round the Dee and forest then home. Felt good, nice pace and a satisfying distance as well. No stops or snacks
A very windy recovery from craigendarroch round the pass into Ballater and then back along the river. Went past the rest night field..... Up here for the week so we’ll see what’s cooking
