Orienteering race (Ardchattan) 1:31:33 [5] 8.2 km (11:10 / km) +310m 9:23 / km
shoes: VJ Bold
Scottish 6 Days - Day Six - 21/25 - 19/24 overall
(Reverse start)
Cleanest run from me all week, being very careful. Worst route was the long leg to first spectator control where I managed to veer too far south, then too far north, adding unnecessary climb. Then was just shattered after the steep uphill after those controls and was scrappy for the last few.

Scottish 6 Days - Day Four - 21/26
(Chasing Start)
Terrain felt rougher today. Mistakes were made, but less than in previous days, so beat a few more people. Wasn't really in the chase other than seeing a Swedish girl at a number of controls though we had different routes all the time.

shoes: VJ Bold
Scottish 6 Days - Day Three - 28/30
(Classic distance)
First proper mistake was misreading contours and climbing too high, past the drinks control. Then later mistakes made when other people were around. Wasn't concentrating enough. Another area to work on....

shoes: VJ Bold
Scottish 6 Days - Day Two - 31/34
(Middle Distance)
Ok, but slow, for the most part. Then got v confused by the third last control and spent a good few minutes faffing about in there before heading back to repeat my route in. With more success.

shoes: VJ Bold
Scottish 6 Days - Day One - 26/29
Lovely area. Generally understood the map well, but was feeling slow in the legs. However, in a few areas I was misinterpreting terrain directly around controls and had substantial time-losses nearby controls.
