Forest Orienteering (mock race) 49:09 [4] 5.04 km (9:45 / km) +210m 8:04 / km
Ran a mock middle race on Lavin. The first three controls were quite shoddy as I got into the map, but after that it smoothed out.
1- Overshot it a bit, was reading the clearings too much and the scale caught me off guard
2- Went a little too fast, and dragged a long parallel mistake through most of the leg, losing about 30ish seconds in all
3- bad route choice, went left around the cliff instead of right
4- massive climb, which I got rid of by doing immediately by going straight to the second road, after which I cut off, hit a rock, and compassed into the control.
5- easy bearing
6- around the edge of the open, cut a bit off of the corner of the forest, then ran up the trail and attacked from the open
7- bearing, should have looked up into the terrain and have found the fastest micro route
8- straight down to the path, sprinted along the path, and attacked right after the edge of the clearing
9- went left which was faster due to it most likely being shorter
10- made a tiny mistake at the end of going into the control, missed a form line hill on the map, thinking that it was a knoll lost about 15 sec due to that
11- nailed it after planning
12- nailed it
13- misread the re-entrants and pretty much walked into the control, but didn't think that it was mine, until I realized 10m further
14- nailed it
15- pretty much went straight
16- cut the first corner and then followed the path to the control
17- straight
Lost about 2:30 in all on the course which would cut my time down to about 46 min
