Strathfarrar
Scottish 6 Day
Not too much time in pre-start, traffic and walk to the start meant limited preparation time but wasn't a serious race for me, out to have some fun.
Tough enough start with some bracken in the first few controls. That made running at times difficult. Got 1 ok but lost time going to 2, didn't quite get the contours and hills in the circle so lost a small bit of time.
Running to 5 was tough going.
Met Kev at 6, he'd started in front of me. Small miss going to 7, headed to the boulder field but it looked like they were on a hill.
Dropped Kev going to 10, or at least he dropped himself with a different route to me. I was happy with mine but could have done the start of it better, crossing to the road wasn't necessary but after the bracken earlier I was trying to avoid it.
11 I didn't expect to be where it was, felt it would be higher. Ended up below 12 and then climbing up to it I stopped to tie a shoe lace.
Nice running to 15 in the open but was too far left so Kev caught some time here. 16 wasn't fun climbing the hill. 17 was alright into the green but Kev caught me back up at 18 as I missed it.
Was with Kev then for the last few controls.
Achilles was sore at times so that wasn't great, felt ok at other times. So was happy enough to get around and really enjoyed the course and orienteering.
