Scottish 6 Days, Day 2. 2nd place. Winner 44.51.
Second day of 'pot hunting'. And two orienteering events in two days! It's almost a comeback. I found the navigation very tricky today, and again it was a poor start when I missed the first control. I lost contact on the edge of the circle, relocated off the wrong open hill and ended up south of the control. Relocated again quickly, but lost 1 minute. Got my head back in the game, and was quite clean through to number 10, although there were lots of minor hesitations and stops to make sure I knew exactly where I was.
At number 10 I drifted well off line, and had to relocate off the crossing point and come back into the control from there, losing another minute. The bit in the light green at the end was fun, but we had a couple of easy legs.
The guy who beat be my 3 seconds yesterday had me by nearly 90 seconds today. I would have had to run pretty much completely clean to have done that time. But really enjoyed myself and the challenge today.
