Scottish O Champs - 3rd M18, 2nd Scot
Was a tough race didn't help with the heat and not recovered from last weekend yet
Took a horrible route to 1 losing 1min30 and climbing loads extra. Angus caught me at around 2 after starting 2 mins after which wasn't great. Struggled to keep up and was getting dropped as we left the open. Thankfully in the rougher stuff I managed to keep on him and after hesitating a lot at 7 i overtook him going to 8 taking a different route. Caught emus here who started 2 mins ahead. Next few were fine just some tough hills and at the end of the long leg to 11 i definitely took the wrong route. The train kinda broke up at 12/13 and I made a mistake on 17 and leaving 19. Annoying as I had overtaken angus who then overtook me again and emus caught up. Last few were a mad sprint trying to make up lost time. Good fun but need a rest. Very happy with my result and definitely couldnt have gone nearly as fast without angus and emus towing me
