Note
(rest day)
Having a lazy Sunday recovering from a bit of a binge last night. The Scottish didnt go brilliantly results-wise but I finished the first 4 days having had a whale of a time. Its good to be back.

Gave day 6 a miss which turned out to be daft as Anagach is awesome. Nevermind.

Running warm up/down 16:00 [5] 4.0 km (4:00 / km)
shoes: Olway Tigers w/ dobs
Absolutely gunned it to the start. Hungover, and in no fit state to run when I got there 6 mins late. So I went and had another poo and got a punching start,

Day 5, Camerory. Got up late and drunk. Left barely any time to get to the start, mostly due to the details claiming it was 1.5km shorter from camp to start than it bloody was. Tits. Felt so tired after the sprint to the start, and halfway to number 5 my body started screaming for the 3rd poo in 40 minutes. 20 sloppy minutes in the bushes and I had no interest in continuing my run.
For the birdwatchers amongst you, I did see a flock of Crested Tits whilst squatting, a species indigenous to northern scotland in Britain.

Orienteering race 1:07:12 [5] **** 9.6 km (7:00 / km) +100m 6:39 / km
spiked:19/28c shoes: Olway Tigers w/ dobs
Day 4, Culbin. Not in proper chasing start as I have been orienteering like a muppet. Caught my 2 min man early, but caught by guy behind me too. Butterflies split us up and never saw them again. Caught my 4 min man and we had a good brun up but he got a minute out of me as I was making mistakes at speed. My best day so far but the times were really competitive today!

Orienteering race 1:52:45 [4] *** 14.0 km (8:03 / km) +390m 7:04 / km
spiked:15/25c shoes: Olway Tigers w/ dobs
Day 3, Inshriach West. Got a lot of demons on 'real' Inshriach so was expecting a lot of fun! This was the long one but distance wasnt an issue. Technically still completely Kermit the Frog, being massively cautious (and quite crap). A few people commented how fresh I looked at the finish. Felt strong if not fast, again never running at threshold but I simply aint confident on my mad map skillz. Oli opened a rather large can of whup ass on me today.

spiked:4/10c shoes: Olway Tigers w/ dobs
Day 2. Balaviel. Started straight up to the moor, which was easy then hit the forest and dived in on 3 with absolutely no plan whatsoever. Suicide, which set the tone for the rest of the run! Got a lot of work to do on my technique is I want to get back nearer the big boys.
