Again a very good race besides the big mistake to the 2nd to the last control. A bit frustrating that I was so close to my "best run ever" and messed it up in the end.
7: good route, came up to the path 20m too high (20")
9: had problems to match the terrain and the map. At a rock, which was not on the map, I thought to be too far, wanted to turn and at the last moment I saw a control in my direction. Decided to look at that one first - it was mine ... This could have turned into a several-minutes-mistake easily. (15")
14: Came too much to the right and had to run around the small lake (10")
15:
- came out to the path more to the right and on the other side of the curve than intended
- did not check the path-direction with the compas when crossing it
- felt that something was strange, and my compas was showing left
- knew: tired and confused: stop!!! But did not listen
- did not see another reentrant on the map other than mine and the runner that I had cought just before passed me very focused. She will know ... ;-)
at the control we headed for, I knew immediately where we were (my compas had always pointed much more to the left. 200m and 20m climb later, I punched my control (2'30")
