Event: Wharncliffe UKOL Long (Northern Champs)
 

First O race this year. I made an error on the first control but corrected myself fairly quickly. I then didn't go far enough for the second control and lost too much time due to what I think was a confidence issue as I knew where I was but was telling myself I was wrong. After this I settled in to the race was clean to 3, 4 and 5.
6 was our long leg and was difficult enough. I read the map in too much detail on this and did not simplify the route although I did execute the route to my attackpoint as planned but made my mistake from the attackpoint in as I didn't slow down. Probably lost about 2-3mins on this control. 7 was good as I slowed down to get my head back in it after the mistake. 8-11 where all on the moor top and were the easiest controls of the course and allowed for fast running. From 8 to the end I didn't make any mistakes and I had a very clean and fast run although I missed a route choice for 11-12 and took the longer one but I didn't make a mistake on it so it still worked well.
