To Hoias, defs getting my share of uphill riding here - legs hurting a lot because i'm not used to it. 6.57km

Training course by myself, and all the winter controls are still out in the forest so had markers for each one which was good. 5.4k middle style course, mostly went pretty well, just slow but that's ok for training. Need to work on being more confident because most of the time I knew where I was/ was going so just needed to run but found myself stopping all the time unnecessarily and checking the map even though I already knew I was in the right spot and had good visibility of what was around. Also need to work on just knuckling down and running when I can, because I also stopped a lot when I came across marshes/ difficulties underfoot; searching for a way around when I just needed to keep going. Also wasted time being super indecisive on a long leg. Was a nice day out, nice course, some beautiful terrain and was fun :)

Luckily the way home was mostly flat which made for a much quicker and easier journey (thankfully). 6.48km
