Mountain Biking 45:00 [2] 13.0 km (17.3 kph)
0900 - Cycle to the MTB - O. Lovely country roads.
MTB - O race (Uath Lochan & Inshriach) 48:32 [5] *** 13.5 km (16.7 kph) +166m
1015 - Uath Lochan & Inshriach. 1:15'000. Short Course. Took part in a Mountain Bike Orienteering Event held in conjunction with the Scottish 6-Days. Hired a bike from nearby Laggan Wolftrax... not the best, but also not the worst. Good tyres and front shock, which definitely helped. Changed courses at the last minute to short (from Long). Good decision! It was fun and challenging... got to get used to reading maps at high speed on single track. Almost lost it a few times. Managed to take 1st by 3 minutes. No idea how the competition rates though.
Mountain Biking 40:00 [3] 13.0 km (19.5 kph)
1230 - The long slog back to Kingussie.
Orienteering race (Kingussie) 18:41 [5] *** 3.0 km (6:14 / km) +60m 5:40 / km
shoes: Salomon Speed Cross
1700 - Kingussie. 1:5'000. Men Elite. A Sprint race around town. Nice and fun, but have had more technical sprints before. 1 route choice mistake and 1 instance where I took a few steps down the wrong road. Otherwise quite good. Finished about 22nd (I think), about 3 minutes behind the winner (GG). Good turnout with lots of spectators.
