Orienteering race 49:16 [4] 5.83 km (8:27 / km)
Scottish 6 Days, Day 6
Final day today. Beautiful area!! Had a pretty okay race apart from one major mistake losing 5-6minutes! Just didn't keep track of where I was and ran blind!! Apart from that, really enjoyed it.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my week of orienteering and its helped me re-discover my love for orienteering. It has got me motivated and inspired watching a home WOC. Lets just say, we will see what happens..!

Scottish 6 Days, Day 5
3rd Place
Really enjoyed the terrain today, it was tough physically and mentally!! Had one major blow out on one control which lost me the win and 5 minutes. Such a silly error, just stopped concentrating for a second!

Scottish 6 Days, Day 4
6th Place
Worst race today of the week by far! Was so scrappy in so many places. Not every good concentration and not reading the map enough. Finding it tricky to picture the terrain and again just think it was a lack of concentration! Lovely area though :)

Scottish 6 Days, Day 3
3rd Place
What a beautiful area. I absolutely loved it!! Ran my heart out and really pleased with my position seeing as I was an early starter too. Glad I was as the area wasn't ruined my elephant tracks. Was panting away when I finished and pushed so hard!!

Bit of a grotty area but I really loved it still. It was very physically demanding and glad I didn't have any further than this!!

No mistakes made, was so chuffed with myself! A lot of hesitations and self doubt though. Got round in one piece though which was the aim!! Really enjoyed it and had a great time out there!! Came second as well!

Orienteering race (Sprint) 17:18 [5] 3.5 km (4:57 / km)
Watched the WOC Sprint Relay which was so exciting! Emma..what a god on first leg!! Had so much fun spectating so was really geared up and looking forward to getting out there myself.
Was very, very cold to warm up and I was so hungry and tired (had to get up 1.30am to travel up today) but got jogging round.
I loved itttttt!!!!! I had so much fun which was the aim. Tried to push myself. Coming up to the spectator I was really feeling it but then carried on pushing after that. Really enjoyed the last section. VERY pleased with my time consider how long it's been since I last did a sprint race and that I have no speed from extremely lack of training.
Game on with Daneo for run in times this week..he did 12s and I did 14s!! (Dad did 22s haha!!)
