Setting out white controls and warming up.
Skate Ski race 54:52 [4] 8.48 km (6:28 / km) +109m 6:05 / km
Ran unofficially to try green course. Came into maze at high school too low and turned further low for big error 4 min. Next control also too low for 30 s lost.
Stopped for a minute on way to 5 to fix code box 51 which was knocked over and had flag lying separately. Since I was unofficial, thought I could spare the time to try and fix it. This was the central control of a butterfly and just got beaten up more later on.
Further along, a couple missed turns in the larger networks of narrow trails and while correcting quickly, still lost 2 min.
Need to tape a compass onto the map holder and use it occasionally.
