Long O - Lomond Hills

A very windy day out on the hills with threats of rain that never quite arrived. Ran the short 10 K course and was pleased with a course that wasn't too rough and gave lots of fairly easy running on paths. Very pleased to come in second place of 18 - normally there are many more coming ahead of me. They must have all been elsewhere this weekend!

Falkland Hill Race

Colin went off with Hannah to the pretty village of Falkland in Fife. A short sharp race up East Lomond from the village central. Nice little race. Form seemed to be reasonably good. Wander round the village with Hannah afterwards.

Orienteering at Yellowcraigs

Horrible course running through endless fields of nettles. Gave up on two controls.

Street O Colinton

Made the most of being in Edinburgh and got out for a bit of urban orienteering around Colinton Dell. Pretty good performance on a nice sunny summer evening.

Max ready for his School Leavers Ball

Jupiter Artland

We headed out on a sunny Sunday afternoon to Jupiter Artland which has been there for 5 years but escaped our attention thus far. Lovely country grounds with lots of interesting sculptures. Nice lunch as well.

View from Greenwich

Got the tube out to Greenwich after work and then walked back to Canary Wharf

Haddington 10K

First race in quite a while. Not feeling on great form so headed out at an easy pace with modest ambitions. Soon found I was even slower than planned and couldn't bring the pace back up to my 50 min target. Ended up with a time of around 52 min 30 secs which is slowest ever 10k.
