11.00am: DVOA Event - French Creek South/Crow's Nest Preserve - Green Course
Mark Frank planned courses to use the best woods as it is pretty thick inlaces. Hot day 82deg F for end of September. Left calf feeling very tight so opted to go slowere and concentrate on my navigation skills which are a little rusty. The magnifier would have helped reading some of the detail. Lost some time on 4 from attackpoint and being a bit vague in my plan. 6-7 a tricky leg requiring accurate compass work which with thickness of woods was not so easy. Drifted to left a bit and found another control which then used as attackpoint. 9-10: planned to use control 7 as an attackpoint which I got okay, then not sure what happened next as several minutes later I was back at control 7!. Slow walk on bearing from there to 10 the second time round. 10-11: was just slow work through the vegetation. Rest of course straight forward, though walked a chunk as too hot to run.
Overall still sloppy navigation in places. Hoping calf will be better before NAOC.

GREEN - Splits
