| Moose Creek Splash long, Mt Laurie map. Not into it at all today. Probably would have been okay after getting going, but that didn't happen. I spent over 35 minutes looking in the area of #3, unable to find it. Finally gave up after attacking from the clearing on the cutline 70 m away, only to miss the control yet again. The hard to read detail on the 1:15,000 map didn't help, although if that's the case I should know to be more careful and not more sloppy. I need to get better at recognizing when I'm carrying on with no good plan... things went wrong as soon as I left the fence to head in from the NE; I couldn't read the contour detail well, and some some reason thought I could navigate by the vegetation. |

| Moose Creek Splash middle, Elbow Bluffs map. Did okay up to #7, but I was lacking speed. Needed a short jog yesterday evening so that wouldn't be the case, but foolishly didn't go for one. I tried (unsuccessfully, I think) to pick up the pace a bit on the way to #8. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, I then started making mistakes, and lost 1-3 minutes on 8, 9, 12 and 15. Not a good way to start off the weekend. |

| Moose Creek Splash sprint, Elbow Bluffs map. Easily my best race of the weekend, but unfortunately that's not saying much. My speed was better, but I started off too carelessly and lost about 0:30 on #2, 3, and 4. The rest was pretty good, could have been smoother overall though. |
