Time for some R+R. Throat feels raw - thanks E - predictable ;-{

S6D Day 6 Ardchattan
Feeling really washed out - very little sleep - and didn't want to run, but needed to fight for my position. Somehow managed to wind myself up for it and took it steady at the start, feeling really tired up the hills. Got well into it, spiked everything and attacked as hard as I could. Very happy with the race. Good to know I can still dig deep when I need to.
2nd and 3rd overall for the week. As good as I could hope for ;-}]

Ended the week with a scary ride home in the back of recovery vehicle. Driver was determined to get there in 4 hours so that he could get back home again without having to take a break!

S6D Day 5 Loch Nell
Pleased to still feel quite good in the legs before the start. Messed up no 4 and contemplated jacking as was sure I wouldn't get any points from the day. Foolishly decided to continue and really didn't enjoy the bog wallow. No other big mistakes but hesitant into 5, 11 and 15. 5th.

S6D Day 4 Torinturk
Had a good lie in with late starts, and then felt really rubbish at the start. Managed to wake up once I got going and actually had a great run. Little hesitation on 13 but otherwise clean. Tried to work really hard through the central "cross-country race" section. 2nd.

Round Kerrera with E and Goochs. Fab day and a lovely ride. Trickier than expected and tough for the boys but all coped well with only Esther falling off (ouch).

S6D Day 3 Creag Mhic Chailean
Very clean run but not fast enough with an early start. Feeling much more confident with technique. 4th.

S6D Day 2 Ardnaskie
Hesitant into first few controls but then orienteering well. Careless near end trying to run too fast and missed ~1 min. Pretty happy, but not as fast as later starters. 3rd.
