I wanted to run this sprint as a technical warm-up but after 2 min it became a full blown sprint effort, lost ~20 sec. in total

the map was drafted for 1:5000 but printed at 1:10000, all symbols and lines became 2x smaller and thinner, map became unreadable on a run for ~ 70% of the course. I started 1st time and by control # 2 felt something was realy wrong when my clue sheet said I had to see control in a reentrant, but I could not see one on a map in the circle, while running. I came back, picked up a little better printed map and started second time, but the mood was ruined. At #8 I could not find a one meter wide corridor in 2nd and 3rd green, not like it was mapped well, so I decided not even go there, walked around green boundary to see mapping style, then proceeded to 9. Spent ~ 4 mins extra at it. Legs felt tired today, after yesterday's intervals as expected.
