Certainly not my best day so far at this NAOC. Luckily my teammates had given me enough of a lead that I was still able to come in front of the Canadians.

#4 is where I lost most of the time. I executed everything properly until the final section of the leg, which seems to be a trend here that could use some looking into and training. I believe I just lost focus and didn't go far enough left once I ticked off the spur on my right. Once I was at the reentrant up top I found enough depressions up top to thoroughly confuse me. The visibility here is also low enough that immediate relocation is difficult. Eventually I went back to where things made sense and attacked the hill again, this time successfully.

I think I would have done everything the same, but I need to remember that the final attack needs a higher level of focus than most of the leg.

No big problems after that, just a bit of confusion with the trails on the way to #7. I was having trouble estimating distance. I suppose I'm not used to a forest floor that soft and consequently was moving slower. Good thing to keep in mind.

Running 25:00 [3] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)
