SOL3 Glen Affric. Avg HR is very low for a race and I think I started too slowly. Wasn't really feeling great at the start, and struggling with breathing. Didn't really start running harder (and concentrating better) until I started seeing people again at 10. Was completely on my own for about 45mins and I struggled to push in the rough terrain. Slightly off in the circle on 2, 4 and 6. Too high on number 8 and I knew I was going wrong as I did it but didn't quite have the discipline to catch it early enough. Started getting a bit tired and was too far S on 17, a bit too far N on 18, totally messed up 19. Lost confidence on the way and veered off massively. Quickly relocated and then found it fine. Finished and wasn't really that tired which I guess is a positive?!
Got to sort the tactics on long races/keep getting fitter so I can run harder for longer!
