(rest day)
15km walk- so much for a rest day
Saturday Aug 3, 2013 #
Orienteering 1:08:33 [4] 6.82 km (10:03 / km) +370m 7:54 / km
Day Six- Culmony and Belivat
Made a really stupid mistake on the short leg to no.3 which threw me a bit. Hadn't looked at the rest of the course when I reached the timed-out control so I took a break to go through it. Would have stayed for the full 5 minutes but I probably would have decided not to finish because I was absolutely dreading no's.13-17! Made a big mistake (as expected!) on no.13 and en route to no.16 ended up on top of the hill by mistake. Half way through this leg I was completely lost in an area of ferns but Im quite happy how I recovered from this! I honestly could have been another 10 minutes looking for where I was! The last bit of the course was fine but really not happy with the time!

Day Five- Roseisle
Two big mistakes and some small ones towards the end. En route to no.5 I cut in too early resulting in me standing about looking very lost! My stomach was so sore for the whole thing though so jogging was about all I could manage. Annoyed because I desperately wanted to be able to run!

Day Four- Loch of Boath
Horrible wet day. Predicted our first control in the start box so had my route already planned and was delighted when I picked up my map and saw! That was about all that was good though! Didn't make too many mistakes but just felt so ill and couldn't run.

Day Three- Culbin
Much cleaner run today. Made quite a big mistake at no.6 but other than that it was just tiredness towards the end of the course that cost me. Happier with this run navigationally.

Day Two- Carse of Ardersier
Made a few small mistakes to begin and a bigger one at 12 which meant I was caught by Katie. (1min behind) The course just seemed so long and my back started getting really sore in the second half. Because I was with people I ran faster and slightly got away from them on the last longish leg. Happy with the result but still made some stupid mistakes.

Event: Scottish 6 Days
12 PM
Orienteering 59:01 [4] 6.13 km (9:38 / km) +45m 9:18 / km
Scotland- Day One- Lossie
Started terribly and ran off in the wrong direction because I wasn't concentrating at all! Stupidly had lost 2 minutes already. I tried hard to concentrate more for the short/technical legs along the dunes and did well enough, making just a few small mistakes. As I was going to 12 there was torrential rain which was crazy but I tried to carry on at the same pace. Had no plan for 13 resulting in a big mistake..but not quite as spectacular as my miss on 14 where I lost **a lot** of time. Some really silly navigational mistakes today so wasn't happy at all!
