Last session in Almorox Norte. Things have been progressing well and the main thing that held me back was visibility. Kept being close to streamers and not seeing them. Overall a rather pleasing camp, lots of frustration but good experience in new terrain.

Started off being pretty bad and changed a lot of what I was doing halfway through and was pretty decent for the rest of it.

Changed a few things after 1 (7) and everything else was clean. Higher intensity from 16 onwards.

No streamer at 1. Missed 2. 5. No precision on 8. 9 and 10 were nope.

A technically disappointing night o showing in Peguerinos.

Started quite badly but eventually slowed down and talked myself through the legs; heavily traded speed for good nav. Juniper was tough to fight through but left the training feeling okay.

Track is a bit aids to look at. I'm starting to see a pattern of being on the line but starting to doubt myself and take a sharp turn. Worrying and something that definitely needs addressing. It's apparent on 1, 5 on the first training and on 4 on the second training. Other things, like not seeing the reentrant to go up to 6, are also not good. I can't seem to stay on the line for the life of me.

With everything from the last few trainings in consideration, I think I need to put a greater focus on making a more complete plan of the leg earlier. This can potentially tackle multiple problems like turning off the line for no reason, misreading legs (see 11 on training 2), greater speed that comes with greater assurance that I know what I'm doing, more proactive vs reactive running, etc. Also need to be less shit at compass lines, they've been okay in Scotland but since coming here I've been all over the place.

Some tricky rocky sessions paired with some really sketch orienteering.



Very sketch indeed.

Technical intervals downhill. First two intervals were shit because screwed up first control both times but as time went on I got much better at navigating. It hasn't clicked yet how to be better.



Watch paused right before I hit 23 for the second time and restarted at 24. I took the trail then popped in.

Taking it at an easy pace in Hoyo de Pinares, the same map as the MOM Middle. Very open stuff with good navigation. Nose hasn't cleared up quite yet.

Night-O at Almorox. This one was taken slightly harder with 30 second interval starts. Muscles feel stronger so knock on wood that everything will be alright pretty soon. A few mistakes but there were definitely some positives mixed in there as well. So, so many mistakes so far just three days into the camp but I'm just gonna have to take the L and keep going at it without letting up.
