Competition 59:54 [3]
shoes: Saloman SpeedCross 3
I was doing incredibly well for the first third of the race. I was confident, fast, and precise because I implemented new techniques after learning from the AAR of yesterday. I planned my routes in segments where I ran quickly between obvious attack points and didn't waste time looking at my map the entire time. Then I planned a route where I would hit a trail and make two lefts, but I misidentified some collecting features including cliff faces and the sound of flowing water. I ran in the wrong direction and took a while to figure out where I was, causing me to add over twenty minutes to my time. I was able to make it back to my last point and recover, after which I did very well again. I should have been much better than this.
