Long model. Meant to go for an easy 30-40mins but you just get carried away in this terrain!
Made a horrible mistake on one of the controls- good boost for the confidence! Still having trouble with reading the detail correctly. Also faceplanted over one of the unmarked electric fences which was fun :)

guess on the time. training on grand revard. Much much better on my part! read the detail well and everything made sense!
Tested route choice on a long leg with amber and penny. To make it fair we took a split time before leaving the track into the control. Amber took the wholely track route, Penny did the same but cutting corners, whilst i went wide to the left with a mix of forest and tracks.
Their routes were a good 1-3 mins faster to the track entry, but both made a mess of the entry as there wasnt a good AP. I was slower to the track entry, but had a good line of features heading in and got there 1-2mins ahead :) interesting stuff!
Then did controls by myself to themeeting point on far side of the map

middle model. made a mess of this, say goodbye to confidence from this morning! Beautiful beach forest, but I just couldnt get it right, made 3 5minute mistakes on consecutive controls. penny smoked me on our little race!
Prob came down to a lack of food and hydration as i didnt realise we were doing another exercise from the far side of the map, and that it would take so long!

'sprint' training in annecy. although really it was neither of those first two, really just 'in annecy'.
started off fine, but hit massive market crowds in the narrow alleys soon enough and that was the end of sprint training really. I got angry, everyone else seemed to enjoy it though lol.
ah well thats life. would have been training 1.5hrs earlier if it werent for some stubborn late sleepers...

first training on the plateau above aix les bains. did verbalisation with penny and amber. Didn't find it very good though really. As there were 3 of us we picked up on 3x as many mapping oddities, which did nothing for my confidence!
Very slow going, but sweat inducing!

map walk up to start of dieter's exercise. only really wanted a map walk today but as the walk to the start climbed 350m, figured i should do atleast some of the course back down!
Orienteering 1:08:00 [2]
shoes: VJ Bold 2011
course back down the hill, more details later.
got the first 5 fine, took small track options which def was best. then went 5-11-15 ok though a bit off on 11. 16 i got very scared of the huge crevasses in the rocks (especially after penny had lost a leg down one just walking to the start!). 17 i missed - thought i was navigating it fine but must have got distracted by extra clearings and cliffs and was dragged low. ended up on the track so decided to skip to 18. missed 19 epically and relocated somewhere below 20 so headed straight to 21-22 and home :)
found a sweet cave while looking for 20. the sort you can imagine cavemen in, or a pack of wolves...i ran away from it pretty fast after that second thought!
