Warm up and cool down

Great course and forest today. The first leg 6 legs went well, the first was fairly sloppy and I also lost some time on the 6th control where I cut over to what I thought was a trail but turned out to be some clear cut line, when I left the trail I just didn't pay enough attention to the final details of the leg. Then lost a minute crossing into the box since I forgot about the mandatory crossing points. The box went fairly well other then a few times where I just wasn't focused enough as I was running and also lost some intensity. Final 7 controls I picked the intensity up significantly as I had to chance a few others, so I was orienteering at a pace I wasn't reading all the details and a bit sloppy because of that. Especially in more complex terrain like this I need to look for big features I can use at the beginning of a leg and narrow in my focus as the leg goes on. Altogether fun race

After my cool down I just ran the last few legs again at a slower pace
