Orienteering 37:20 [3] **** 4.6 km (8:07 / km) +100m 7:19 / km

Corrales de Julia middle with Jeff and Alex.

First time on this map. I really liked it. Fairly intricate rock detail with somewhat thick green to throw you for a loop. I ran fairly well. Probably could have cut off 5 minutes if there were controls.

Error time: 2:00

Errors:
Poor entrance into control.

Solution:
Continue to visualize the entrance into the control.

Orienteering 40:21 [3] ***** 3.2 km (12:37 / km)

2 loops in the Peguerinos east map with Graham and friends.

We counted it up and there were 11 national teams represented at this session.

There were 4 loops but I twisted my knee in a weird way and it hurt to put weight on it. (It feels fine now, a day after).

Really difficult night orienteering. About as difficult as it gets for orienteering. Thierry finished first and wasn't too phased by the difficulty. Impressive.

Error time: 15:00 (at least)

Errors:
-Misreading the map.
-Losing my bearing.
-Poorly estimating distance.

Solutions:
-Continue orienteering on a variety of maps
-Focus on compasswork for night-o's. You don't have as many references. Your compass needs to play a bigger role.
