5. stage on Gibel. middle-distance. the one I was really looking forward and it didn't disappoint me. super start so at ctrl. 4 I was confortably placed in 4 spot. unfortunately didn't see the second waterhole under the circle (-1'), but the big mistake was to 6. I was just not getting it (lost 6-8'), yet another minute was gone at 7.
then I found the spirit again, maybe the routechoice to 9 not so clever, to 10 a bit lucky as I recognised the first reentrant. fast splits to the finish (9-xx-5,4)

this stage turned out to be the slowest compared to the winner. big disappointment as a really good time was possible, damn. but I should have known it, because this was the only control where I didn't have rock solid concept, idiot!
PS: now, sitting at home I realsie what I have done wrong. the plan was to navigate along the slope to the highest point and then turn left.
what I did: I run on top of the rigde and came to the womens control which was located on the little hill with a rock. i thought it was placed rather in a hole which was under my line. so I continued on the hill and I thought I'm now on the upper hill. then I fell in the holes after the hill which are marked with a contourline. but I didn't get that and I tought I was not so badly placed instead of climbing I was turning left, but quickly stood on top of the rock (didn't get that) then went left to the big reentrant, didn't get that either. only when I continued further on the really top of the hill and further to the big cliff with the street and I could hear the runners on the street I relocated.
