Scottish 6 Days - Day 5 Glen Fearder - M21E
Getting there, after a chat to Andrew B's mum, I took some paracetamol and knee felt much more manageable. Was almost able to race normally again, just still feeling a bit unfit from the big break, but not as bad as Tuesday. Running style still feels a bit wonky but was happy to be able to descend down any hills painlessly today.
Lost about 90s, with 60s of that running past an almost certainly slightly out of place number 5 without checking the code because I was so sure, not blaming anyone in particular though! Caught up El Purko who gave a nice bit of pressure from behind to finish quickly and reel in a nice third place - could have been even better but I'll take that for where I am now, even with a fresher pair of legs to everyone else after wimping out yesterday. Anyway, might even finish the whole race tomorrow after today's result.
