Really valuable technique training session run by Gareth Candy.
A warmup exercise of following a line on the map, a corridor exercise, same with the full map, and then a race of 3 controls at a time and 30sec staggered starts on a 12 control course. The main thing was to break the leg up into a series of safe routes - which can then be run with confidence and minimal map info.
I managed to run the corridor exercise quite smoothly, then the quality dropped a bit in the full map exercise at comfortable pace, and then when we were racing I reverted a number of times back to my old habit of running and hoping to see something, which mostly ended pretty badly. Racing 3 controls at a time against the others quickly showed up where you lost/gained time.
