Certainly wasn't going all out today. Beginning went really well, running at relatively high speed but without mistakes. Made a few bigger mistakes when I got more tired, but still a satisfied feeling because the good parts went really well and the mistakes could've been prevented easily (with a bit more regular orienteering). Found the map hard to read, symbols were really tiny. Physically tough course, quite a bit of climb and forest covered with waist high heather/bushes in places.
8) Drifted a bit for no reason. Figured it out quickly. +5".
10) Hesitating just before the control. Wasn't precise enough. +10".
11) Took a bearing from the trail, but got dragged to the open area. Had problems relocating, but eventually spotted the green dot (which had fallen over...). +1'.
14) Couldn't understand the contours that well, or at least I didn't see the higher part 'sticking out'. Figured I'd overshot it and turned back. Should've watched my bearing more precise after the thicket. +1'15".
17) Could've cut straight through on the last part. +10".
21) Thought I was following the small trail, so when I got to the trail just before the control I followed it a bit and then took a bearing. Figured out what happened when I got to the depression. +40".
24) Difficult to recognise things, don't know if I should've gone even slower and try to recognise more. +20".
25) Sloppy, partially because of tiredness. +20".
