Scottish 6 Days near Comrie, Scottland. From the car park to the event arena. Partway there, we realized that Max had left his bib number so he and I went back before starting again. This was mostly a nice but long walk. There was a dead sheep on the trail.

Scottish 6 Days 2019, Day 1, on the Auchingarrich map.
S-1 - I climbed fairly straight and through the light green forest. I stayed a little near the forest edge until above the reentrant.
1-2 - I walked and ran straight to th knolls. I took the ride and turned left into the reentrant.
2-3 - I ran down the marsh and stream to the right of straight and continued going straight after the stream bend. I drifted right and hit the green so I cut left. I was short so I wandered. Others in the area gave it away below me.
3-4 - I tried going straight but was drawn or drifted left into a clearing with a control. After punching and realizing it was not my control I went on and cut right. Pulling up I guessed well and turned right again to punch. I probably lost 90 seconds or more.
4-5 - This was my big error. I 180’d and because I was on a hillside, I didn’t realize it immediately. I passed the control that I’d punched earlier and kept going. When things didn’t match up I turned back to #4 and went straight.
5-6 - At the fence I paused a while to figure where I’d gotten. Continuing, I hit it well but I was hesitant.
6-7 - I drifted right and corrected at the fence. I was a bit hesitant again at the end.
7-8 - I ran to the road, then left and the down before the road bend. I got confused and came down too far. At the fence I ran along it but crossed the stone wall before turning back and going up to the control.
8-9 - I ran around the light green and turned left.
9-10 - I misread and thought I needed to drop a contour. I had figure this out and to climb back up.
10-11 - I realized I wasn’t going to read and match up all of the details. I ran fairly straight checking off what I could until hitting the fence. The intersection with the stone wall pinpointed where I was at so I attacked and hit the control after that.
