Rudens cup, middle in Ravai. Started as the last one, but promissing - forced myself to look at the map more often than usually, so made 1st small mistake only on 6th CP - 20''. Some another 10'' on 7th and then got tired or what, but somehow didn't look at the map enough, so went too right, hit the marsh and still "gave some images" like vosvos - just made a mistake on which corner of the marsh I was, so when climbed the hill and understood that was far too right, send some swear-words and partly lost motivation. Some 5' mistake. I guess near the swamp or in bushes also lost GPS signal. 9th - with hesitation and with wrong direction, another 1'40'' mistake. To 10th felt even tired - those hills already killed me. 11th - didn't find the cutting as early as expected, so with hesitations - 45''. The remaining part more or less ok - small hesitation on the path to 13th - 10'', 15'' near 17th, 15'' near 18th, 30'' wasted on the route to 19th. 9' of mistakes - too much again. Can't expect to do better on LTU cup...
Very good course but really disliked the forest - very ugly, except white parts from 1st to 7th.

The route (without GPS signal from 8th to 16th):

2 loops in VP. Warm dry weather (+13C), a lot of runners.
