First day of the Scottish Six Days!
I went into this race wanting to only focus on my navigation, and that's how I started off woohoo! But after nailing the first few controls I decided to pick up my speed a little bit. I was slightly off to the left on four but I was doing a good job keeping my head up and spotted the control before I got pulled too far off. Had a bobble on 10 when I ran to the wrong patch of green. I should've been looking for the contour feature the control was on, not the vegetation around it. The second half of the course was very physical, but I did a good job pushing through it and staying in contact with the map despite my oxygen-deprived brain.
I ended up 11/49ish ~7 mins back from the leader. I'm happy with that result but I will be looking for cleaner races the rest of this week.

Fun sprint in Stirling with Emma. We had two long legs that required some difficult decision making. Emma caught me after the longest leg. She went low and I did some extra climb which was dumb. My legs were pretty tired from our hike yesterday.

I noticed some hip pain near the end of the upwards portion, but after resting and snacking at the top it went away. I didn't feel it at all on the way down. (phew)

Sprint course in Edinburgh. I got caught two times. I need to be more careful when crossing main roads to make sure I go down the correct alley.
