Contour-only exercise north-west of the Tiorati parking lot. For a while, just ran along the straight line between the controls, noting how I was crossing the contours. This worked for a while, until I hit the green. At that point, I had to deviate from the straight line, which made navigation considerably more challenging. Whenever I wasn't certain that I had found a control location correctly, I attacked it from several directions. When I saw that two or more times I ended up at the same feature, I was satisfied and moved on.

Route Choice exercise west of the Tiorati Circle parking lot. I did OK, considering that, historically, route choice has not been my strongest suit. Ian gave me advice to focus on execution immediately prior to the start. This helped a lot.
