Event: Scottish Six Days Tay 2009
Orienteering race 1:04:00 [5] **** 5.3 km (12:05 / km)
shoes: Jalas
Day 1 of Scottish 6 Days. Good race except for 2 controls where I lost a total of around 8-10 minutes. Very disappointing to have the race spoilt by those two legs. Very tough country and difficult to run. Had a lot of trouble interpreting the map and it really would have helped to have had experience in this kind of terrain and map before. This really showed up in the results with teh local runners doing very well (as well as the Norwegians). I was surprised at how fast these guys are over rough terrain. The last half of the race went quite well for me, but i was behind on every leg, sometimes by quite a distance, and this was just purely down to speed and strength.
Orienteering warm up/down 20:00 [3] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
Easy jog to the start.
