Jamie just under 33 minutes so again happy with the win:Nic ratio. A few small blips but the only irritants are contouring to 11 & looking at it now can't see why you'd do anything other than go straight, and getting into the wrong clearing at 13 which wasn't surprising but added to the time loss by deciding I was in the wrong wrong clearing. Maybe it wasn't obvious that I was in a re-entrant but there was no way I could've been on a spur! So can find just enough time to have been under 50 minutes, which I would have been very happy with.
One thing I noticed over the weekend is that I seem to be orienteering a lot closer to the red line than I used to, (and not that long ago), I think something I've picked up from doing more serious racing in Woodhill than anywhere else lately. I figure as long as I'm still keeping my eyes open to wider route choice options (especially in this sort of terrain) it's got to be a good habit to have picked up. If nothing else I think it indicates a big improvement in confidence.
