Event: Scottish Relays
Orienteering race 46:41 [4] **** 5.1 km (9:09 / km) +210m 7:35 / km
shoes: Innov8 X-Talon 212
Scottish Relays, Drummond & Torlum, a new area near Comrie.
The area had suffered recent windblow damage and the undergrowth had increased dramatically in recent weeks so courses were tougher than expected and times were long. Ran first leg on Handicap 15+ (a C leg), was on my own most of the way and was 1st adult back. Handed over to Lindsey Knox (on a D) then Robin Sloan (C). We won Handicap 15 but were pipped for the overall Handicap trophy by 49s by a bunch of FVO bandits on Handicap 6!

Event: Scottish Championships
Orienteering race 1:24:37 [4] **** 8.2 km (10:19 / km) +255m 8:56 / km
shoes: Olway
Scottish Champs, M50L, Auchingarrich & Mill of Fortune.
I didn't enjoy Auchingarrich the last time and my opinion hasn't changed!
It doesn't help when you run down the wrong ride at the 1st and 3rd controls - game over! Orienteered better on Mill of Fortune despite the windblow. Dixie on 83.29 & Donald on 86.21 but we were all (including the M45's) blown away by Martin Bagness on 72.15.
