Scottish Day 6 - Glen Affric North
Wow. The most relentlessly tough race I've ever run. It was a good area, steep but better going than the previous day. Thankfully.
It was a steady run rather than a hard one, and I really struggled when the terrain got rougher, especially to #9, where I also made a mistake in the circle. I didn't make many mistakes other than that, but often didn't have much of a plan and drifted from control to control a bit.
Had a good head to head battle with Keith. He was often sharper into the control where I was a bit hesitant; I was maybe a bit quicker when the terrain allowed but not enough to run away. Joined various trains with varying levels of navigation. It was a bit of a shame that despite several long legs there wasn't really any major route choice, with only one sensible option that I can see to #5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 17, 19 and 22.
Overall, just really pleased to get round and enjoy myself given where I was on day 1.
