Long SOL at Calophylla, H1. Felt pretty good physically and had a mostly good run. Only real mistake was on 3 where I think my route choice was poor, going left through the clearings past 11, and I also mistook a little bushy section in the middle of the clearing for the green strip on the edge so stopped in said green strip, about 100m short of the control, for a bit. At least I stopped and worked it out calmly so minimised the losses. Not sure what I lost, maybe as much as 30 seconds. [GPS shows I was 32 seconds faster running right past 3 going from 11-12 than I was for the same stretch going into 3 the first time] Had a couple of other spots where I didn't pick the best line, running through some rocks I could easily have avoided. I think both times I was trying to plan ahead a bit too much. I was trying to make an effort to be a bit more aggressive by making more decisive plans. Overall I was pretty happy with it but there were a few times when I struggled to commit to one plan.
