Wombled around the local loop in the drizzle feeling very unspritely.
How anyone could want to do a Sunday hill race or Monday interval session after the 6 Day I've no idea ;-). Bottom of my list..but then again maybe that's the secret.

C • I don't know how I managed ... 8

Another day off.
Wander in Glen Tanar with T and C. Field looks a mite different to last Sunday. Its got some funny stripes on it...and some sheep.

Even more kit shifting and drying with AT, J&EM and T&C.
Stuffed. Completely.

Glad its over but its been worth it. Great to have so many folk really enjoying Deeside and it Orienteering again. Very satisfied..albeit my own O was very hit and miss.

Every day a very long and physical day helping out the Equipment Team as well as doing the DC bit so typically 7.30 until 5 or 6 or 7 . Maybe need to reassess their resourcing too I think. However so many folk contributed in some way, as they always do for the 6D. Lots of lessons learned for next time too...need to document those in the next week.

Turned ankle before 1. Stung by a bee also before 1. Trotted around a few controls behind DP, not doing much concentrating or navigating for that matter, before admitting that it was a race too far. Walked / wandered back. Sorry not to complete all 6 but doesn't seem to matter.

Getting weary but pretty clean today. Went left on the route choice leg - very slow through the bracken and it probably cost. Still seem to struggle on uphill legs too.

Enjoyed it. Key leg was 1-2 though. Unfortunately GPS trace shows I passed the wrong side of the veg covered south side of the boulder without seeing it ..certainly within ten metres. Absolutely nothing else to go on in the vicinity. Game over. Fastest on the route choice leg to 6 going left and staying low. Lost another minute maybe at 8 but nothing else.

Another field, another fence, another coffee and cake in The Bothy. More sunburn potential too.
