Orienteering warm up/down (Run/walk to start) 23:46 [3] 2.9 km (8:12 / km) +30m 7:48 / km

Easy run/walk warm up as I had a really tight back after push starting the van in the morning.
2 PM

Orienteering race (S6D - Day 1 Glen Tanar) 53:23 [4] 5.6 mi (9:32 / mi) +200m 8:35 / mi
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 225

Poor start, but the physicality was always was going to be a struggle.

Tried to go steady and hit the crag I was aiming for then lost it and relocated off the hill top/knoll just beyond the feature I was looking for.

Was pretty clean through to 5 but didn't feel like I was moving well.

Really please with #6 as resisted the urge to just flog the straight line and contoured round to the west until I hit the path and used that to support the claim and once crossing the fence and contouring along picking up a trod which was nice, ticked off the marsh and dropped into the re-enterant - took 2minutes out of everyone on this leg, made up for my error to one.

Used the marsh to run well to the crossing point and then just a bearing to #7. Again then resisted the urge to just run up the hill, used the path to swing round then bearing in from the obvious attack point of the path junction.

A few small misses on #9 and #10, good run in too

Overall #6 was a key leg and the run-in meant I beat Jenny Peel by 1 second.

Didn't feel like a good run but I'll take the result
