| Bogs mnt., Day 1, Blue. Navigational disaster. Terrain I never been to in my life. No wonder did ~30 min in mistakes. Was very good lesson for navigating in the normal forest. Was actually confused by the way how terrain features were represented on the map. Learned it hard way. Did 3 big mistakes and several smaller. On the bright side was able to relocate after mistakes and once at the right place, found controls with no problems. The big problem was to distinguish between raids, trails, indistinct trails, and not mapped raids. Also vegetation boundaries were not obvious in many places. Generally, map was very good.
Weather was amazing, +12-15, and around 20 at noon. Forest was soaked after Friday showers, but running in the Inov 330 was very confi, despite wet conditions.

| Blue at Montebello. Would be perfect distance if not excessive climb at 5-6-7. Nothing technical at 4-5 and 6-7 except unnecessary brutal climb.
The majority of controls were placed quite technically utilizing best terrain available. Was quite surprised by making several mistakes in technical but well known places. Actually, recovered quite fast, losing less than 5 min in total. |
