Orienteering (Long) warm up/down 30:00 [3] 1.0 km (30:00 / km)
shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 290
Extra long warm up as I got to the start extra early :) Average stuff
Note
Done my Route Gadgets BTW.
2 PM
Orienteering (Long) race 49:21 [3] *** 4.9 km (10:04 / km) +210m 8:18 / km
11c shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 290
3rd Day of the Scottish 6 Day
Talked to lots of people before the start and felt pretty prepared for my run. The weather was really hot though and I was scared I wouldn't be able to run as fast as I wanted too.
The sole of my shoe fell off on the way to no. 1 so I just pulled it and threw it away which slowed my down throughout the course but on a plus I can get some cool new shoes :)
Anyway it was basically all fine, nearly went past no. 2 had it not been for people being at it already. Caught Hannah Bradley and Miranda Leaf up at around No. 7 which was good as they were around 14 and 10 minutes ahead of me. Lost both after No. 9 ish and ran off into the wood (no looking back).
The only tiny mistake was probably No. 10 and 11 where I was a bit iffy about the route and because I knew I was having a good run I didn't was to mess it up at the end. Not as technically difficult as the previous courses which was good. Looking forward again to the next one although it is 5.7 km.
Ended up coming joint 2nd with Katherine Hall with Natalie Beadle in front by a good 2.50 mins. Recon I could have gone faster with a better pair of shoes but 2nd gives me 3 points discarding yesterday :) Tehe
