Up and down. Very bonky with Felly for the down.

Double Dukes and SOL 2 in the Trossachs. Didn't start my watch until #1 so guessed the distance a little. Very bonky afterwards but actually I think I didn't run so badly having looked at the 2d ReRun. Several mistakes were my main time loss and when in a bit of a train with Felly and Joe I was keeping up relatively easily. Picked the right route on #9 to the right but failed to execute it properly and lost a fair amount. I think one of my problems is that I focus too much on trying to run and not on the navigation and I still have issues consistently using my compass. For example on #9, had I been checking my compass regularly I would have seen I was running the wrong direction just after I crossed the red line out of #26 and realised what i was doing. Also lost 3 minutes on #11 where I am 110% sure the crag was far too low down the hill than what it was marked on the map. I came over the top and dropped a lot of height but was still well above it.

Up.

Started well and was running okay through the nice bit before heading across the scout centre. Missed #12 bad when I left the bike track too late and then went too far up the hill as well. Later on definitely started getting tired and slow.

Event: Dark Thistle
 

Mainly between the tent and the car park.

Not a great time. Followed GG at the start and he lead us wrong by going parallel to the path in some crap. Brilliant. Generally pretty slow and not having a fun time in a pretty rough forest. Retired at 11 when my head torch went into power save and was super dim causing me to run straight past a control.

With Jack around the killing fields and back. Very nice.

Standard late night meadows. Not quite as spritely tonight.

Meadows by myself after I got the time of the other groups run wrong.

With a few of the guys before their gym session.
