Jossan shadowed me around this course which gave me a whole lot more than "just running it" would have done. We stopped a few times to discuss. I was saying my plan and thoughts out loud along the way, what I register etc.
We had some trouble by number 10 and so did Elin & Daniel who were running back and forth in that area at the same time.
From this run I realized:
.. that I'm doing pretty good over all
.. a lot of times I start a leg by running fast using the compass and when I'm about halfway along the leg I would start looking for features to use, like "oh that must be this trail, let's use that" - I should strive to have a plan for the whole leg
.. sometimes especially for short legs I feel that I don't have time to set my compass - I do have time, those extra seconds is a well worth investment
.. approaching a control I tend to act like a pinball bouncing off features along the way - I should pick a line of features, slow down and check them off as I pass them to get a straighter/safer/faster route to the control
