Event: STAG's 30th Anniv Event, Scottish O League 5 & SHI Individual
 

SHI individual at Errochty. Black, 11.7 km. A good tough course (a longish black). Was second starter, so the woods were quiet for a while. A mistake on 10 for a few mins and a few other dithers, but not too bad. Still feeling slow, though. Maybe just unfit. Was losing a minute on each and every uphill leg! 77 mins from Doug was an impressive winning time.

SHI relay, Craig a Barns. 1st leg for Wales 2. Nice varied course and great orienteering. A perfect assembly area in the sun with good views of a couple of controls on the final loop. The fast guys disappeared pretty soon but there were still a few folks to race with. Orienteered fairly well except for an unfortunate mix-up, running to 9 instead of 6. Oops. Probably 2+ mins there. And legs feeling heavy for some reason. Managed to pip a couple of Scots to the finish, though.

Easy run in Barcaldine Forest, mostly out on the Coffin Trail to where it heads down towards Achnaba. A bit of exploring in the woods too. Nice evening - some bright sunshine.
