Day 2 - Strathfarrar 6.2Km 260m
Horrible day all round. Huge queue into car park so nearly everyone using punching starts which meant a 20 min queue at the start and no chance to warm up. Then the area was ridiculous. Should never have been used in Summer - you just had to pick your elephant track and hope it was the right one. Would not have run if I'd had an early start. Also, a control in the wrong place, which I don't remember ever happening at the 6-days before.
Poor run. Not in the right state of mind at the start. Lost 30 sec to 1 as confused innthe middle of the leg. Lost 1 min at 3 which was on the wrong crag. Lost contact to 4 (30 sec). Missed elephant track to 7. Route OK, but probably cost 45 sec. -10 sec on 8 (stopped just before it) -30 sec on 9.
Then, on the way to 13 fell over really badly. Injured heel - don't know quite how. Cost 1-2 mins over that leg and the next couple.
Physically pretty awful. Really struggling to run and absolutely knackered at the end. Not fun.
Heel very sore in the evening. Not sure I'll be able to run again this week.
