Didn't enjoy it much today. Number 1 and 2 were really big mistakes, lost around 8 minutes. The next 13 controls were fine but they were pretty easy just following the huge tracks in the snow although I felt like I was in contact most of the time. Did lose around a minute half-way to 4 running the wrong way down a track - parallel error hitting the wrong bend which is pretty easy to do when you simplify the exit out of a control but you have no compass to assist that simplification. Realised fairly quick before any major damage was done. The last control I wasted nearly 8 minutes on after getting completely lost in a network of parallel and perpendicular small paths. Pretty hard problem to solve without a compass.

I did run this at a steady effort but too much time standing still, lost to log it so.

Back to no compass again - I can't remember exactly how this run went, logging it without the map in front of me 10 days after it happened. I'm sure it was pretty bad.
