MOM Long Distance, FE
Again, a rough go to #1, one re-entrant too far. Then I got a little more into the map and was looking up a lot more which really helped.
Longer leg to 5 and I got a little off my compass to start but I was also being pushed around by the green brambles. Little mistake on #7 where I saw Anton, and he and I both went to the same wrong cliff with immense confidence until we figured out we were too far to the right.
Small mistake on 10 where I wasn't 100% sure where I came up to the hilltop covered in big rocks, so I wandered around trying to find my giant rock for a while. Then after that I was pretty clean but I couldn't find the legs to fully open up. Had some fun using my spiderman skills to clamber up some massive rocks around 13 and 14. Was that the best route choice? No, but it was hecka fun.
I found that I was really in contact with the map today, which was essential in this terrain. Still struggling on visualizing the control circle and I really should have been using my control descriptions more. Overall, pretty happy with this race for my first time in this terrain and first real forest orienteering race this year.
