Scottish 6 Days - Day 3 - Culbin
Today the wheels fell off. Was expecting another 70-minuter, but they'd got the planning about right today, and the softness of the ground (with some heather) made it far more physical underfoot than Lossie.
Probably started off too fast, but technically sound. Then was hanging on a bit in the middle, with several 10-20" hesitations but nothing worse, before things went to pot at the end - lost 7 minutes or so across the last third of the course. This all started when I went for a radical route choice on #18, but hadn't got round to thinking enough about the attack for it to pay off (90"). Followed this with a 3' and 2' mistake amongst general slowness. ITB tightened quite markedly towards the end, despite rolling/stretching yesterday evening.
81 was achievable today, but I was definitely on the edge navigation-wise almost all of the way - beneficial to find the current limit, but need to get the focus right for the middle WRE on Thursday.
Glad there's a rest day tomorrow...
