Event: Scottish 6 Days

10 AM

orienteering 38:51 [5] 7.0 km (5:33 / km)

Day 1, 4th. First race of the week. An ok run, but soundly beaten by four minutes, i think partly to do with my v early start and dodgey routes.

10 AM

orienteering 35:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:50 / km)

Long race practise. Running at not quite tempo just trying to flow through the course. Was reasonably easy so managed with very little time loss. Pleased

2 PM

orienteering 16:00 [3] 2.0 km (8:00 / km)

Middle race practice Feeling good for the first couple of controls. Third control i thought was a bit hidden and i didn't have a very good picture. Lost a load of time here before racing round the next section with Tim and Ali. Direction was totally off but just about made up for it with pace

9 AM

running warm up/down 5:00 [1] 1.0 km (5:00 / km)

Not any time for a decent warm up. In the toilet queue

10 AM

running race 17:38 [5] 5.0 km (3:32 / km) +60m 3:20 / km

Was going for sub 18 as i thought that would put me in contention to beat Will on this apparently quite slow course. Set off reasonably conservatively until the first hill where i immediately pushed the pace. Running at the front with Will on my shoulder to the top then continued pushing down it until over the 2k mark. By just under 3k i had pulled away slightly before the last hill. Here i was caught again and by the top he was right on my shoulder. Pushed on down the hill and stretched out on the last 500m to the finish. Won by 4 seconds with a new PB. Really pleased.

Garmin makes it 80 metres climb and counting it up that's what it gives but didn't seem quite so much...

C • Congratulations! 2

running warm up/down 14:15 [3] 2.85 km (5:00 / km)

Easy warm down round the lake with Will then had to run back to get my jumper which i forgot.
