Orienteering race 22:52 [4]
14th in M60, 10th in NA. Toughest sprint map I've run on: woods and buildings - lots of detail. I need more practice! Also, learned I need to put 'dobber' on right hand, not map hand, at least for Sprint. Punching messed up map contact - I don't remember that being such a problem in my past.
Lost 1min on 4-5: Relied on trails too much, missed one, hit 'other' trail junction, confused. 7-8: Read control circle well, saw small shack, but left in wrong direction. Checked tel pole, bounced back to find small clearing. -1 Sure can't afford two 1 min errors!
I depended too much on the trails at first. They weren't apparent and weren't necessary. The woods were open, contours were clear - that worked much better on 6, 7 and later.
