Scottish 6 Days, Day 5. 1st place.
The area today probably suited me a little bit more, as it wasn't as steep or as rough underfoot as previous days. And I started well, managing to find the first control without losing any time for the first time all week. My first and only significant mistake in the circle was at number 4 where I was a little bit high and lost about 1 minute.
Slight wobbles on the routes to 6 and 7, I thought the beach would be more runnable than it was, but I'm still happy it was the right route choice. On the way to the beach I managed to trip over a shin height fence I hadn't seen and slice open my hand and my left shin. I had a few minutes of blood management to carry out so that my map didn't get obliterated.
Navigated smoothly through the shorter legs towards the end of the course, I'm getting my head back into map reading and visualising the terrain better. When I finished, I was in the lead, but today I started after the Samor brothers who between them have won 3 of the first 4 days, so it was nice to beat them both for the first time. And get my first stage victory of the week.
