Note
Details to come, but had a blast at Eastern Canadian Orienteering Champs! Entered M21E for all three races and really looking forward to analyzing where I did well and less well.
Biggest takeaway: need more practice at 1:15. Orienteered very timidly and I think some it was more difficult orienteering than the middle, but a good portion of the being timid came from not reading easily at 1:15...

ECOC Long RouteGadget
1) So hesitant at the 1:15, gotta get my confidence back at this scale. Just running in the right direction, then used the field and a bend in the stream to lead me in.
2) On bearing, looking for the steep slope, didn't see the nook of cliffs I hoped to see along it, but when I came up on top, it was clear I was a little left of the line (once I stopped and saw the tag on the contour), so adjusted.
3) On bearing, looking for marsh to the left after low, used trails close in, but had to really slow down to make sense of them - maybe need a magnifier again.
4) The really long leg. Really lost some time here. I was intimidated by it. I didn't feel comfy letting go of utmost contact with the map, was trying to stay quite close to the line. Saw #14 about 2/5 of the way through, then got a bit more out of contact in the junky next bit. When I was heading up the reentrant to the NE close in, realized I really needed to go up the hill, so bent right and sent myself to the control. I think rougher bearing, faster running and finding oneself on the hill before the control is the way to do this.
5-9) Kinda picked it up, slope of my splits graph versus winner shallowed and theses all went pretty well - shorter and mostly pretty easy controls (distinct features to use on the way in)
10-13) Not quite as good - still easy controls, as mostly right off trails, but looks like I was losing a bit more time, maybe just needed to run harder!
14) Blandish running most o fate way, but on a good bearing and the slope close in was a give-away, especially micro reentrant just right of the line.
15) Looks like others had a mistake here. I didn't do anything fancy, ran on a bearing, cross the stream, found the hill right under the line half way through, kept going.
16) Bearing, couldn't go too wrong because obvious slope.
17) Kinda went through the marsh, wasn't too terrible.
18) Used the trail just left of the line, which seemed good. Surprised Eric didn't.
19) Bearing, then just right of hill to slope.
20) Following white course streamers.
So yeah, just need to get used to 1:15, planning on using bigger features to speed things up for super-long leg and not focus on every last thing out of fear...
