spiked:15/22c shoes: Falcons
Well it was a very cold day but off I went.
1. Little confused with the distance judgment and direction was slightly off. Found the control alright though by picking up the little open bits in the green.
2. Still confuzzled by the distance but direction was good so found it anyway.
3. A bit off on the direction, went a little too far to the right and then had to come back around.
4. Found a nice little route. Did some planning ahead. Got a bit confused at the end but sorted that out.
5. Just a really long way... also the control was in the wrong place.
6. Direction was shoddy with no real clear idea of what I was doing, still got the control fine and found Cherry.
7. Nice direction although not perfect.
8. Confused myself near the end as the features didn't seem to line up perfectly. Found it fine though.
9. Alright just too much uphill.
10. Just appeared really.
11. Wasn't careful enough at the end of the leg. Was off on visualisation and direction.
12. Slow but on the line and everything.
13. Really bad. Had no good plan and ended up doing everything wrong on the way. Really slow despite finding the control fine.
14. Good, route not great but found it fine.
15. Direction was a bit off here. Confused by the crags.
16. Poor map reading and direction. Bad control
17. Slow but good and on the line
18. Nice control, was slap bang perfect
19. Slow at the end but alright.
20. Boosh
21. Avoided the bracken, was good.
22. Not focusing and was generally bad.
Run in. Slow
Overall:
Need to do some poor endurance/get back into it.
As ever direction was the main error. Need to take more care with my compass work, something I think I can definitely improve at local events in the London area....
