Rhona's course round glen o'dee :) was pretty fun! I felt like i was running hard, and was only a minute behind joshy boy and 2 behind callum :) realised i made a silly route choice by going back along the path when apparently it was fairly easy to get through the light green and across the fence :)

Run round crathes, coy burn trail then up round the castle grounds and back down the other side. Saw the new go ape!! It looks soooo cool!! XD I can't wait till these exams are over and I have a life again! :D 11 days and then I'm free! XD got to drive there too, only stalled once! :D

Relay leg 2. Started off okay. There was a control between 2 power thingys and I went to the wrong side of one and fell into this nettles up to my waist bit which was so sore I had tears whilst running. Apart from that it was all goig pretty decent until after the spectator control where I just got caught in the flow of all the other people and went into the woods with them but this was too far for my control and once I realised I'd overshot it I figured I needed to push the pace more. I tried playing it safe by taking the path, what I didn't realise was there was a smaller path going pretty much in the same direction to begin with but then it was one that wasn't on the map. I took a bearing off the path I thought I was on and I could hear the cars and so was convinced I was close! I got into the scratchy horribleness like the forest in snow white which was out to get me, when I couldn't find it I knew I had to relocate but I had no idea where I was and everything looked the same in all directions. I managed to get out and get back to close to my previous control which was when I stopped to have a proper look at my map and I saw the tiny dead end kind of path pretty much on top of the other but it must've continued. I managed it fine the second time. I felt soo bad for letting down my team and worse cos my younger sister was on the same gaffle and like half my time.
