8 AM
Orienteering 2:01:07 [2] 9.21 km (13:09 / km) +323m 11:11 / km
29c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 230
Broadwater - Short legs with focus on using contours.
Never really settled, things didn't look how I expected them to and had very low confidence the whole time.
I think in general the line's I'm taking are okay, it just takes me a long time - I think because I'm scared of making a mistake so I'm wasting time triple checking every tiny thing which is often unnecessary.
Started to fade and things got not so good on the way to #20, got super confused when I didn't see the massive boulder at all (and didn't again when I passed it later to #24 so not sure what was going on there). Held on to Anna for the next few, then when I got confused again going out of #23 my brain wasn't doing too well and I was super hungry so got around a couple more controls then bailed down the hill to the track and ran back.
Could've done better on this but got into a bad headspace and then got quite tired but good session anyway.
Very cool up of the tops of the hills.

Broadwater - Control Pick
Life changing - learnt how to fold map properly and line up compass better. Sounds stupid and seems crazy that I hadn't discovered this earlier.
Then got to practise it all on a really fun course!
But basically folding for each leg to be able to hold the map and compass together so they line up properly and and also lining them up to the edge of the circles so that I can actually read the detail underneath.
Took a little bit to get used to it but overall v excited about what this will change for my technique.
Ran most of it roughly with K + A which is good for confidence and flow, and to debrief when map was a bit iffy, but also really good to see where I am losing time on them and what they are doing differently.
Took some cool pics at the top of the hill with some massive boulders and the golden light - sooo nice!
Very beneficial session!
