ahr:110 max:149 shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
To start, via loos and arena to drop off bags. Cloudy to start, but I must have jinxed the day because the sun emerged (so I put on sunscreen). 22C when we left the meet site.
I went when Glen did (he had a start that was farther away and 16 minutes earlier; I arrived with 40 minutes to kill).

Scottish 6-Day, day 5 on Craig a'Barns, another Long course. 1:10000; C20 was 3.8 km, 165m climb (notes said 170). Temp probably near 20C when I started, but more than half my controls were in the woods.
Good to 1-2-3, then a route that initially saved dropping farther down the steep hill but didn't save as much distance as I'd hoped. Ran trail to corner of logged area, the stayed high for most of it, but had to climb up through cliffs at the end of the leg. Lost a couple minutes there.
Then I just had to get to a fence crossing point...through a mucky marshy area. Just a couple meters from the fence one shoe came half off in the muck. I had to retrieve it and was able to keep it half-on climbing over the stile, but then sat doen on a convenient stump to put my shoe back on and tie it (ick...covered in mud!). Traversed the logged area along the marked route, then punched the control at the end, bit neglected to check the code, so after I climbed a half-contour up the hill I went back partway until I could see that yes, that was my control code.
Okay to 6, but bounced off two other controls before relocating in the correct direction to my 7. Short leg to 8.
To 9 I hit the trail a bit lower than I expected and started climbing, cutting off too early and hitting a stream and having to follow the uncrossable fence to the crossing point. Crossed and had two minds about the route and should have taken the first (uphill to the next crossing point and down the broad reentrant), but decided to do option two which climbed N of the hill that the cameraman was on and over the spur to the reentrant, where I proceeded to not look left but turn right because I didn't see the control right away as expected. Too much time up the reentrant before I turned around and started to run down the reentrant when wham!!! My left foot went into a hole and my upper leg impacted a rock next to it. Owwww. Picked myself up and continued to my control which I couldn't have been more than a meter or two away from after climbing over the spur....
10 added some more gratuitous climb but I could see it from a distance; just had to get to it, and then climb down in one piece. One more, a traverse across more muck, then a downhill finish. 33rd of 41. A throwaway for sure, but maybe I should have bailed after 8 like some others did.
Icing my thigh with a bag of peas...some of which will grace my salad accompanying dinner, I think.
Overall placing is currently 26th (because of a 27th earlier in the week) when it should be closer to 21st. We'll see if I can do better in tomorrow's middle.

Note
Note that the route gadget track doesn't start at the start triangle but at the stream (which was before the call-up line). Not sure why, but it throws off the rest of the track to #1. Everything else looks okay (not counting the stupidity).
