Training Log Archive: s@keills

Determined to go round carefully in touch with map and learn why I am making so many mistakes. Slow and careful it was. Learnt that if I am unsure of my position between controls and don't have a clear attack point I stop, always short of the control. I then don't look at map carefully enough and worry about where I am . Better attack points definitely.my compass bearing coming out of controls is improved wearing control description on right arm as less of a fankle around my left wrist.I need to be very careful to be accurate with this coming out of controls. Also need to use compass more taking sight bearings ahead . Need to be careful to work out height loss gain between controls. don't concentrate at the end of the course and need to eat sugar before last few controls. . Not much to work on then.

Lovely run along hill after driving home

No one wanted to do Loughrigg fell race with me so we went for long hill walk instead -Pike o blisco and crinkle crags with family.

Walk up out towards red screes . Really beautiful and quiet with misty gradations across the fells. Sky larks singing. Had a small commiseration with myself for
Last few days.

Ad hoc relay,
Even managed to loose confidence on a leg in relay.
Confidence v low after last 2 days. Thought different forests should be different colours not all white.
