Colin and Max took part in a pair of orienteering events in Edinburgh City Centre over the weekend. Saturday was the street race taking in Pollock Halls and Southside and Old Town. Decent runs from Max and Colin with Colin having the edge.
On Sunday we both went on the green course in Holyrood Park. Colin came 6th and Max 13th of the 84 finishers.

Norwegian Orienteering
Max and Colin headed out to Corstorphine Hill for a Come and Try It event. The Green course was a Norwegian style with no map just a small map segment at each control indicating where to go next. Challenging but we both seemed to get on pretty well with it.

Nigel Kennedy
Colin and Cherry went to the Usher Hall to see Nigel Kennedy play the Four Seasons and other stuff. A very alternative take on the music with a lot of jazz influenced stuff. Generally very good although went on just a bit too long.

Greenmantle Dash
Colin headed down to Broughton for the Greenmantle Dash. A short sharp tough race involving a jump over a wall, a river crossing, a muddy marshy field then very steep up and down Trahenna Hill. Time pretty poor at over 26 minutes my worst effort in this race.

Portobello Promathon 2012
Max and Colin headed down to Portobello for this new year running event. A very big crowd this year - 386 runners - almost twice as many as in any previous year.
Colin performed pretty well coming in at 29 mins 29 secs in 193rd place. Max was a bit under the weather but did well to finish in 33 min 26 secs.
