Orienteering race 56:09 [5] **** 8.16 km (6:53 / km) +210m 6:06 / km
ahr:186 max:206 shoes: VJ Supra
Tay 2009 - Day 6 - 6.8km
Last day.. Legs feel great and I really dont know why. Conor is out 12mins ahead of me. I know I wont catch him but I know what hes thinking.. "I have to beat Sean".. I start of like a bat outta hell and lose 4mins on the first four controls.. After that I pay more attention to the map while still really pushing myself.. I end up 6mins off the lead with Connor 15secs ahead of me.. Both of us had pretty awesome runs..
If i kept my head at the start i would have ended up 2nd..
I was placed 11th overall.. Not a bad Scottish 6day..

Sanddunes like yesterday but without the trees.. Legs felt great again for some reason and i spiked nearly every control.. Its coming down to fitness, or lack of it..

Tay 2009 - Day 3 - 6.2km
Another s**t day.. Im going to blame it on my compass which was constantly sticking and making me drift.. Bought a new compass later to resolve the problem.. Ended up nearly 20mins of TomF's lead. Not good. :(

Tay 2009 - Day 2 - 7.4km
Much better race today.. Still mistakes but orienteering has improved from yesterday.. Legs began to tire 2/3 of the way round the course so probably could have pushed harder towards the end if i had the fitness.

Very poor orienteering.. 30mins of the lead.. Just not focus and making continuous mistakes. Colm Moran went over on his ankle and this has probs put him out of the Mourne Mountain Marathon. Not a good day :(
