Scottish 6 Days - Day 2 @ Strathfarrar. Not felling as bad as yesterday. Got put off by the elephant tracks from the start and soon had lost contact with the map. headed uphill which was safer and eventually found 1 but wasted 5 mins. SHOULD HAVE HAD A PLAN! Good next 4. Long leg to 6 there was no choice but to follow tracks to open higher ground.. Didn't have the strength to stay with sasha when he flew past or on the uphills. Steady round the rest except for a 18 which i missed and relocated off 19 nearby. Course length: 8.2km.

S6D - Day 2 Strathfarrar - C41 - Splits

Scottish 6 Days - Day 1 @ Achagour.
Had caught the illness going round a few days earlier and hand't had recovered. Fairly clean start losing time just being hesitant before the first road crossing. This must have made me overconfident as i lost more time on the next 3 controls in a row. Wan't a fan of the change of terrain to small windy paths and immediately lost contact with the map and lost 2:30 on 17 having to relocate of a main track. On the way to 18 i caught up another lad which ruined the rest of my race as i wasn't following my bearings on 19/21/22/23. Had no energy being ill and bonged on the long leg back resulting in walk/jog. The only thing on my mind was now will i finish before 4:00 when i though the courses closed and without any more major mistakes (i was going slower) i got in with 10 to spare. Course length: 10.6km
