Running 45:00 [1] 4.0 km (11:15 / km)

Didn't intend to leave the house today, but Jen convinced me to go out to Burbage mines with her. I jogged about hanging bog roll and cheering, while she ran o'ing intervals in the heather. Then lunch in Outside.

Orienteering race 55:00 [5] ***** 11.0 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:29/30c

Day 6, Anagach. Feeling somewhat jaded by the time I started my warm-up. Bumped into Stan and Allan at the start, whose reminiscing about past WOC glories got me fired up. Started hard and felt like I faded towards the end, but no mistakes so a good result today. My first win in a Scottish 6 Day!

Running 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. Then a looong drive home with GG with a brief stop-off to watch the nightlife in Carlisle. Scary.

Orienteering race 35:00 [5] *** 6.0 km (5:50 / km)
spiked:14/15c

Day 5, Camerory. Not the best terrain and very physical. Lost a load of time at a control (one of several) that was in the wrong place. Then ran very hard to minimize the damage - fortunately for me most others lost time as well. 2nd behind Duncan and around 6 mins up overall.

Running 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

Still not raining...

Running 10:00 [3] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)

Hung out at the celdieh (?) party then legged it back to the campsite.

Orienteering race 1:00:00 [5] ***** 10.0 km (6:00 / km)
spiked:26/28c

Day 4, Culbin. Really nice course and terrain, but not a lot of sparkle today...couple of small mistakes on the first and last controls but otherwise OK. Floundered in the heather. Pretty far down on GG who turned out for a celebrity appearance. Also lost a precious couple of mins to Allan.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

Almost sunny.

Wednesday Aug 8, 2007 #

Running 25:00 [1] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

Rest day and much needed after drinking a lethal cocktail of, well, cocktails the night before. Special thanks to Oleg for the banana surprise. Chilled out at the beach (not quite as literally as Ben) and went for a half-arsed jog from the event centre. The sun actually shone today.

Tuesday Aug 7, 2007 #

Orienteering race 1:25:00 [5] **** 16.0 km (5:19 / km)
spiked:23/25c

Day 3, Uath Lochans. Long race today on a great area of tough forest. Started almost last and had a great run, just a few small mistakes.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

It was raining again.

Running 15:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)

Early morning/late night run back to the campsite. Bumped into about 20 drunken orienteers making a citizens' arrest of a couple of would-be bike thieves.

Monday Aug 6, 2007 #

Orienteering race 35:00 [5] **** 6.0 km (5:50 / km)
spiked:10/10c

Day 2, Craig Buie. Middle distance course with strange planning, few controls and easy long legs with just a few tricky ones. A good run with no mistakes, ran hard all the way, scraped a 6 sec victory over Allan Mogenson, not exactly increasing the overall lead...

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 5.0 km (5:00 / km)

Jogging with Nick B (in the rain).

Event: Scottish 6-Days
 

Orienteering 1:00:00 [5] **** 11.0 km (5:27 / km)
spiked:22/24c

Scottish day 1, Alvie. Up early setting up planetFear and wasn't really sure how motivated I would feel...up hill all the way for the first few legs then great, open forest and easy downhill orienteering. Really nice terrain and felt better and better all the way through the course. Missed the last one in full view of the finish field, but a good run and 1st.

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)

Lots of warm up not much warm down, it was raining.

Orienteering 35:00 [2] **** 5.0 km (7:00 / km)
spiked:10/11c

Drove up to Scotland from Garrigill, stopped off at Loch Vaa for a bit of light training. I got lost.
