Orienteering race 1:19:07 [4] *** 6.9 km (11:28 / km) +470m 8:33 / km
18c shoes: Adidas Swoop - old
I finally got to run on the infamous 'Trossachs'. There had been a lot of talk about this area and how unique and tough it was. I was ready for the challenge!
...And I had a lot of fun! It was tough going of course, but mainly due to the climb - I actually found runability reasonably good which was a bonus. I was worried about not being able to read the detail on the 1:15000 map, but the clarity of the map was brilliant.
No big cock-ups so was pleased, though some small micro-routes could have been improved. Maybe a bit lazy reading the detail sometimes. 3rd place, a long way behind Siri (NOR) and just pipped by pippa. Great weekend of races (though a little rainy - weather could have been better :P).

Just a warm-up - too cold to jog around after!
