SHI individual. One for the scrap book! The clag was down which made for a classic race. Started OK though feeling a bit sluggish up the hill to start. Got into it round the back to no. 5 picking a nice careful line. Saw Malley - 18miin man! and Ben 6min man here. Caught Conor Short on the way to 8 and managed to get away a few times in the race but technically he was better and he kept getting ahead again. Fair play. Next few were OK though lost contact badly on way to 13 and relocated off a pond. Main errors came in at 16, lining up on the wrong marsh and losing ~2min. Then further ~2min loss to 17 going onto lower set of crags. Better to 18 and 19 catching Sander here. Then screwed up 20 despite spiking it first time. Lost another 2min +here.
Overall decent result. In contention for the win but too many mistakes though everyone made a few. Just pipped by England overall......

SHI relay Carnwaddy. 2nd leg. Solid 1st leg from Andrew but still 6mins to try and catch. Started well then started to feel tired on the hills and made a few wee mistakes. hesitant on six - couldn't fit much on the ground to the map. similar near the control at 7. slightly high at 11 then bigger miss on 1 - ~45s. Last couple were OK. Passed 1 welsh and 2 Irish though didn't close much on England. Murray had the win in his grasp but denied by one mistake. Close. Next year....

To the mast and back. Bit of tiredness in the legs.

Ran the M55L six day course at Carse. Proper warm up so mentally better prepared. Overall pleased with the run. Few hesitations but felt appropriate to avoid any bigger error. Not attacking it but decent pace.
Managed to beat Dixie and Jethro by 6mins which was a relief. On the other hand they are a couple of old crocks nearing pension age though.....

Beautiful night. Wee spin around the osprey loop. Legs feeling better biking than walking. Very scenic.
