ahr:165 max:178 spiked:13/24c shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 #1

Day 2 of the OOCup. Much better day for me, although the results don't show it (everyone improved). Scale was back to normal with 1:10'000. Terrain slightly different, with more slopes to add to the negative terrain on the terraces. It was also a warm, sunny day!

A surprise long leg out of the start. I got the best route choice, but then fluffed it within the circle (there is a similar looking depression hidden by the circle) - 45s mistake. Then a very good split to #2. Looks like I ran a bit off the map to #3, but otherwise a fair split (poor planning here). Punched another control just 50m before #4 in an identical re-entrant (10s). Good runs for #5 and #6. Slight miss on #7 (5s), then a bad error to #8 (came down the slope and got disorientated) - 30s. Good on #9, but lucky to #10, where I hit is straight-on unexpectedly, as I had run over the road without noting it!!! I still have zero recollection of seeing it...

#11,12, 13 was good, but not the best rc to #14, where I needed to run more straight or S of the line (15s). Got stuck in undergrowth just before #16 (5s), then could have taken a better rc to #17. Went the middle (intended to go right, but took wrong path forking). In hindsight, left rc was probably fastest (20s). No problems until #20, where once again my rc isn't straight enough (30s). Then a few hesitations / uncertainty to #21 (15s). Almost went down the left ridge to #22 (10s). Good leg to #23, but then had problems again above #24 (20s). Uncertain where I was initially.

Overall, about 3:25 of mistakes, but the whole feeling was better. I was also running better / more confident in the forest, both physically and navigationally. Finished 19th out of 41, leaving me about 15th after 2 days. Winner was 43:49, so I was +11:51 (127%).
