Lothian Edge

A busy weekend with Hannah at football on Saturday morning and then the kids, Alexander and Cherry went swimming. Colin ran in a 5 mile race from the Kings Buildings getting round in 36 minutes 35 sec and coming 144th of 218 runners.

On Sunday Colin and Max went to Lothian Edge for the SOSOL. The weather and visibility was very poor so Colin shadowed Max around what proved to be a very difficult Orange course. Max came third of six and should now move to first position in the league with 2 events remaining. Hannah and Cherry went ice-skating at Murrayfield.

Carnethy 5

Colin ran in his third Carnethy 5 hill race in the company of 2 world skyrunning champions. Got round the course in just under 76 minutes which was a 4 minute improvement on last year and around 15 minutes better than the first attempt. 287 th place in the 500 runner field.

On Sunday we had a gentle stroll to Blackford hill and a run through the gorse bushes.

SOSOL 6

Max did very well at SOSOL 6 in Falkirk coming second on the Orange course. He is now second in the league. Colin came 17th on the Brown and is 8th in the league.

Weekend Orienteering

Colin went to the Sprint Orienteering at Dalmeny Estate on Saturday while the we went swimming with a friend.

On Sunday we went orienteering at Arthur's Seat. I came third on the orange course and Dad came eighteenth on the brown course which is mega-difficult and he therefore did really well even though it sounds sort of not so good.
