Another training camp is over. We had a fantastic two weeks at Club la Santa.

Totals for the Camp:
| Cycling: | 22 hrs 30 mins | 418km |
| Running: | 6 hrs 11 mins | 49.8km |
| Swimming: | 5 hrs 05 mins | 5500m |

Yesterday saw the running of the Baker-Hughes 10k in Aberdeen. Iāve completed this event many times in the past, but for this year I had high hopes of a fast time. Back in March, Iād finished the Garioch 10k in 52:xx, my. fastest 10k for quite a while. Given that the Inverurie-based event is run…
