shoes: VJ IROC O-shoes
First day of the Scottish in Lossie and the sand dunes. The first of half of the course was through the dunes, but quite easy (mainly off the path). Caught up someone from ESOC at #4, and we shared the leading until #9. Lost time at three places after that. On #9 to #10 I decided halfway that I should be going to #15... ended up zigzagging and lost 4 minutes out of pure stupidity. Also made an error on #11 to #12, when I went 90* off and lost two minutes , and then got confused with some extra clearings which weren't mapped... ended up losing three minutes after going back and forth (very annoying!!).
Overall, not too bad with a total of 61:49, 12 minutes down. Top Slowies on the course came in around 55 minutes, which should have been manageable. hopefully go better tomorrow.
Times: 5:22, 5:42, 5:30, 5:48, 6:22, 6:16, 6:50, 6:03, 6:30, 7:23 (950m - 7:47)
