Running 28:00 [3] 6.0 km (4:40 / km)
shoes: Salomon Slab XT Wings
Note
Finished in 11th on M21E at scottish6. Was aiming at least for top 10 and with a bit more effort on the first day would have. Lost at least 5 mins in mistakes every day so was hardly navigating that well. Running fast enough on all the days apart from day 1 so was pleased with that.
72km overall including runs to starts.

Orienteering 1:03:05 [5] 10.5 km (6:00 / km) +320m 5:13 / km
9k
Not the best start as I ended up at no2 instead of no1 due to not being careful enough. Someone still managed to beat me to number 2 though on the splits. Reasonable after that. Didn'tthink 13 was in the right place -seemed much too close to the crag. Then lost 1 min on 15, heading straight for it before veering off to another control, Too low on 1 - 30secs. Not far enough, then too high on 17.
Was a bit worried about the heather before I started but actually really enjoyed running whilst I was out there. Again lost too much time on mistakes though.

34th 10 mins down
Chasing Start. Good at the beginning but then lost time at 9,12, 26 and small amounts at others. Heat affected me as well and was struggling to keep up with Rob Baker when he caught me and ben stevens at 12 but fortunately he wasn't spiking the controls very well so kept with him, sometimes ahead. Somehow managed to lose 3 mins on 26.

9th
Second start. Raining.
Not the sort of area I do that well on especially in the conditions. But decided to really put some effort in today and ended up running a reasonable time. Last 2k was tough as there was a fair bit of bracken bashing and every time I lifted my legs into it but hamstrings would cramp, which has never happened to me before.
