Diamond.
Felt awful in stomach so took it super easy and just walked around.
Orienteering was alright but probably not moving fast enough to make it too tricky.
Problems on #3, fine until the last part where I was thrown off by the others looking and should've stuck to what my plan was but also the map was missing a lot of the rock there. We were all too high and off the map. Same of #4, because we didn't find #3 and just continued, eventually just bailed and went to #5.
Reading contours better and therefore planning better routes. Fun and nice out in the sun.

Relay training. Really fun!
Simulating second leg, so we all went out at random intervals which we only found out a min before the start, and we were all given a "plan/mission" of how to run our leg. I went out in 7th, 1:10 behind which the "plan" of following and hanging on regardless of forkings and then after halfway (where I would've probably dropped off) I would do my own orienteering.
Mostly clean but too cautious and could be picking better routes. Need to learn to be more aggressive and go.
To #1 basically just following and though still checking, I think I was probably a bit lucky to get my forking. Needed to check exit to #2, use compass and contours better. Lost time which could've easily been avoided if I'd just spent an extra 2 seconds checking my map. Which I didn't do because that wasn't part of my "plan", which I didn't end up following because I went to my own forking anyway. With the next group of girls who got to #2 around the same time with the others on the other forking behind on the way to #3, for the next few, getting a bit of a gap on the way to #5 but lost that from not picking the fastest route to #6. Another slow route through the rock to #7 had me between some groups and alone for the long leg, probably lost some time here with lower confidence and bit slower speed to double check everything even though I was fine. I need to get better at changing speeds when I can. Going into #8 and #10, I should've been reading the detail better. And trusted myself because I knew what I was doing, just didn't believe in it. For the last loop from #13 -#15, I shouldn't've lost the quick thinking, I could've slowed down to read what and when I needed to but needed to go when I could.
Overall super good training and heaps of fun. Lots of good stuff to take away from this and of course lots to work on. Fun!
