Orienteering 1:33:11 [3] 10.6 km (8:48 / km) +307m 7:41 / km
Just a photo of the map since I'm traveling: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3wGbA8wN2ZDsn5My9
Initially I was worried because the vegetation was nasty and the ground was super rocky. But once I got to the interesting stuff, the forest opened up and was very runnable. Really great training for map reading.
Unfortunately I don't think there will ever be a true map here since the parking options aren't great and it's game lands, which seems to have a reputation for not giving out permission for events.
On the positive side, I don't think it needs a true map. I can add in the streams, but there were no boulders and the vegetation was quite accurate.
Looking forward to getting out there more. Also got lost on my way back to the car so ended up running 20 minutes farther than planned.

BBA 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
Running 2:52:31 [3] 27.27 km (6:20 / km) +801m 5:31 / km
Currently reading The Winning Eye by Michel Gueorgiou. Some good tips in it. The advice is actually common sense, but it bears repeating for clarity.
The longer the distance you have to run without a visual target, the harder it is to maintain your direction accurately.
Speed improvements do not guarantee success in competition unless they are linked to map reading.

BBA 20:00 [2] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
Running intervals 1:00:00 11.8 km (5:05 / km) +32m 5:01 / km
Still a bit slow. But I can also feel the speed coming back.
Workout was 4x1000 @3:10-3:25 on 3 min recovery + 2x400 @70-75 on 2 min recovery.
Times:
3:20
3:16
3:15
3:10

73
Still feeling super slow in the 400s. But this has to go step by step. Just happy I'm able to do them.
