Event: 6 Days of Aveyron, France
 

a good race at last!
mhairi ran a good first leg coming back in the lead, helen kept us near the top at teh front of the pack behind lithuania (2 mins ahead). unfortunately heather had a mare and came back 15 mins down in 10th. i ran hard and caught up to 7th but the others were just too far ahead.

14th
another bad run. boo. can't get into the maps here. wierd middle distance course.

quite possibly my worst race ever. never really got into the map or the scale or the veg mapping and was scrappy round the first 2/3s. then lost 2 mins on the first long leg in the second half and 4 mins on the second. i actually had no idea where i was the second time :( over 10 mins of mistakes in total. rubbish.
tomorrow i will try to be better.
