Orienteering 46:09 4.63 mi (9:58 / mi) +249m 8:32 / mi
ahr:142 max:154 shoes: VJ Integrator (8.5)
Scottish 6 Days, Day 6. 1st place.
To win the overall competition I had to win, and hope Ronnie Samor finished below 6th (my lowest position from day 3). It was my early start (10.11) but fortunately the area didn't really disadvantage an early start.
It all seemed to come together today, running and navigating. I started strongly and led right from the first control to win by a couple of minutes. One small wobble in the circle at 9, and a dodgy route to 11 were my only errors.
Ronnie didn't start, and so he got last place plus 5 and I won overall on countback.
Me: 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 6th
Ronnies: 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 50th
Most importantly, I enjoyed the orienteering all week, and whilst it was nice to win overall, it was more pleasing to have had my best run on the last day. I might do a bit more of this orienteering lark.
