Event: Scottish 6 Days 2019
 

Joggy walk to the arena from the car and back afters...

S6D1 - Auchingarrich... tough and rough at times area with course that put us through some very dense plantations. Brief relief for 3 controls in the open area. Pleasing sort of run - lost about 6 mins in errors, including missing what looked to have been the better (path) route to 10 (rather than my choice of the stream and wall), but generally steady and slow. First event since April and training since then has been fairly low, so ought to be fairly satisfied. On another positive, my new glasses worked a treat (although there was some misting in the denser bits).

Travelling from home to Scotland - Crieff first then over to Perth. Lovely to be able to do the trek to the 6 Day in a few hours rather than the usual all-day epic!!

First day of holiday - finished the lawns. Next time I will put on my Garmin to see how far I travel cutting them all!

Day at home working and sorting...

Last day at Burwell - via Impington. Able to leave school by 4 and got home by 9pm.

The heat and unfamiliar bed woke me early so out with the dog for a lovely stroll along Riverside (O&B). Perfect for both though suspect Cocoa's interval session chasing rabbits was more useful.

After dinner walk with the Dog as it was a bit cooler (so only 26C or so!). Lovely.

The usual early Monday start and on the road in a torrent at 3.05am. Arrived at Burwell at 7.40am which was pretty good. Long day with Y6 performance so didnt get to Hunt until 8.45pm.
