Orienteering (Cooleman Ridge) 29:30 [4] 5.7 km (5:11 / km)
Cold, blustery, drizzly day, but quite a fun course on a decent map. I think I'm building up a solid orienteering technique from first principals. Last week I learnt to invest time planning each leg before essentially winging it, but this week I learnt that it's also helpful to do some fine navigation into the control. Hoping that I'm not going to learn that you can't get away with lazy navigation mid-leg. Lost at least 1min on the first three controls in each case by standing on the wrong rock within 10 metres of the control. Went ok after that, possibly with a couple of iffy route choices, until it happened again at #14 and also hit a time warp on the run-in. Felt a bit jaded in the legs - I'm fighting off a cold that Florence and Grace both have.
