Had a decent enough run, just really rusting orienteering-wise made about 8mins of mistakes I think, stupid mistakes that I shouldn't have done. Reckon I was running to fast for my navigation and not adjusting well to the changes in terrain complexity.
Mistakes were:
3, took a poor line and wasn't confident when I was approaching so ran off to relocate (~1min)
7, got attracted to the obvious control and ran straight past mine then couldn't find anything definate to relocate off (~1:30min)
13, ran to the control, then got confused and ran all the way back up a hill (~4mins)
19, lacked confidence as I was heading the right way then veered off line and spent a bit of time wondering where it was (~30secs)
20, went to the wrong set of boulders then couldn't find the right set (~30secs)
24, disengaged my brian as I thought I'd already been there but I hadn't then got to the feature and was stood on top remonstrating (~1:30min)
27, contoured too low and didn't pick up the detail on the path network (~30secs)
Just didn't have the flow which I had a couple of months ago, need to get it back soon. Duncan Archer did 78mins and on a positive note I reckon I should have got within about 2mins of him atleast which is an improvement. Got races coming up now though before the season starts to try get my head back in to it.
