Orienteering 1:41:50 [3] 7.92 mi (12:51 / mi) +174m 12:02 / mi
18c shoes: Speedcross 4 - Aqua
Today went a lot better. Spent some time before I started thinking about what I was going to focus on. I should make that a regular thing. Legs started a bit tired and I was quite tired by half way. Small errors on 9 and 11. Made an effort to stay focused after that - it was tough.
Happy with how I held up physically this weekend. Training is in a good place.
Awesome weekend. Thanks Greg for organizing! And GAOC for the weekend events!

Ran blue this weekend as practice for the long at TT.
Not a good day. I wasn’t focused on precise navigation, didn’t pause to confirm my location when I lost contact and made a few large errors as a result.

We set out flags and had SI air sticks, so this was a pretty great training. Fun course. I had a sizeable error on 2 (~2 min) and slightly overran 7. Lots of light green on the course. Seemed like I had a lot of hesitations on attacks, but I did exit well. Nice to have my compass and a map with all of the features on it :)

My first memory-o! Maps had to stay at the start triangle. I memorized 1-3 and hit them all with no trouble. Slight detour on the way back to the start, stopped to memorize 4-6, and then back out for those. They also went well. I really enjoyed this training. I should start doing more simplification and this seems like a great way to practice.

Rainy, but warm. I had a lot of fun on this map. First time I had done a course with so much of the map whited out. My bearings and distance estimation were pretty good overall. A number of small errors. 2 - Stopped a little early and went down a parallel gully that also had some rocks. The hill didn't look quite right, so I continued on and found the steamer. 4 - Drifted a little too far N. 6 - Drifted too far NE and hit some other boulders before correcting. 8 - Ran to a trail, but it was not my trail. No major confusion, so I'd call it a success.

A circular map with no north lines and only contours. I found this quite difficult. Made me realize just how much I rely on my compass. First few went well with only minor detours. 4 - Ended up on the entirely wrong hill top. 5 - Got totally confused, convinced myself I was somewhere else entirely, and then happened upon the streamer. I was quite deliberate after that and only had a couple minor detours through the rest of the course. Cut off 2 controls so I would finish near an hour. Not something I would do very often.
