Orienteering 1:30:00 [3] 8.0 km (11:15 / km)
shoes: Sarvas
MAP: Barbate (the northwestern part)
TERRAIN: More green bushes than the eastern part of the map, more sandy trails (which were usually slower than the woods), and a very detailed and technical sandy section in the northwestern corner. The southwestern part was very vague - few contours, few features, and indistinct vegetation boundaries.
TRAINING: A long middle-distance course with 21 controls. Very good course, with lots of different types of navigation skills needed. There was a bit of route choice towards the beginning on the longer legs, then some precise navigation in the technical sand dunes, and finally some good compass bearing and luck needed in the vague area.
THINGS DONE WELL: I was pretty fast and accurate on the shorter legs. (I also enjoyed those the most.)
THINGS TO WORK ON: Distance/climb judgment through green. Having an attackpoint or a plan of what to do once inside the circle for each control (especially on the longer legs).

Orienteering 1:20:09 [2] 6.5 km (12:20 / km)
shoes: Sarvas
MAP: Barbate (central part)
TERRAIN: Usual Barbate terrain.
TRAINING: A relocation exercise with Boris. We took turns leading each other around and trying to get the other lost.
THINGS DONE WELL: In general I knew where Boris had led me. (Also, I managed to confuse him once while I was leading, which is not easy to do!)
THINGS TO WORK ON: Concentrating while tired. Relocating in detailed areas.
