Oceania day 2 Osgiliath Wood
Okm 7.8, 23 controls
Still had gastro issue and was not sure till the last minute if I would be able to run. I did run but result was awful.
I started and when I picked up map and looked at it I quickly realised that the direction streamers lead to and 1st control were exactly 90 degrees!
I just turned and went in the right direction which was just wrong!
So, when I could not find first control I was really confused. I reralised what the problem was only after i finished the course - I did not get to start triangle and started navigation thinking I was in the start triangle!
Anyway, tried to forget about it and kept going. I did not feel fresh from the beginning so just tried to concentrate on navigation. It was not too bad until control 5. First off all, I missed clearing which I was going to use to go to 5. Anyway, got to attackpoint and went to 5 from there but it took me ages before I got it! Looking at gps route I still don't understand how I missed it - it goes straight through(or few meters away) control!
After that it felt really disappointed and almost lost motivation. Kept running trying to be conservative which was easy because I was slow. All was good until N14. I don't remember what those trees called (look at the map - from control 13 down to 20 along the shore, marked as light green) but it was a torture going through it. Orcs territory! All teerain around beach was slow to go through with low visibility.
