Ian, Olle and I headed out for a middle test on the map adjacent to the jwoc map this morning. They did well, however my head wasnt in it and I really struggled (again) to understand the mapping of the rocks. It also doesnt help when there arnt controls out cos its sometimes really hard to find the tags. I had 2 controls where i was so frustrated that i just sat down and wanted to give up and cry, got up a few minutes later and realised i was about 2m from the tag. The plan is to get out for a decent session next week to suss this mapping and really get my head around it, and just get the confidence in this terrain up again!

After getting a really good pep talk from max, Ian and I headed out in the arvo for some route choice analysis on a long training map. It was alot easier to read then the middle maps with no rock and clear vegetation boundaries. We tested a few different routes either straightish and hilly, or longer running legs. Eon beat me so most but that was expected to I think they were mostly equal choices and sometimes the deciding factor may just come down to how much energy you have left to get up the hills. Im glad we went out for this session because it made me feel alot better after this morning!
