A long drive up to Aboyne for SOUL 2. This was a fast and easy "urban" orienteering event through the small town (village) of Aboyne. Running felt really quite good with no heel issues over the 30 minutes of the event. 1 big stupid error that cost around 4 minutes. Not a big crowd out for this event so probably didn't make any difference on placing or points scored.
Stayed at the Boat Inn which was pretty nice and well worth considering for future stays. Wet on saturday evening so just staying in and enjoyed an OK dinner and a couple of glasses of wine.
On Sunday has an overly large breakfast which wasn't the best start to the day. Then cycle to the far side of Banchory and back. Around 37 miles with 800 m of climb all off road. Following the Deeside Way - a cycle trip from Aberdeen to Pools of Dee and back seems like a definite plan for the future. Stayed dry but not sunny for the duration of the ride.
Drove home late enough in the afternoon for a clear drive over the bridge.
