O - competition race 1:06:09 [4] ***** 4.02 km (16:27 / km) +162m 13:41 / km
NA Middle Lewes Lake. Very complicated glacial terrain with mix of small hills and depressions, covered with trees and deadfall in places.
Slow to first control, be very careful. Picked up speed with each succeeding control as I gained confidence and bounced between hilltops and along ridges between depressions. Had to detour early going to 8 and never got back on the right line. Bounced between hilltops, but they were the wrong ones. Relocated once but that was from an undefined point and unsuccessful. Finally came across another control, checked the code and found it was one of my earlier ones, further away than from where I started. However, took careful bearings and pacing and hit the target with no problems, just 16 minutes lost.
Results about the same as yesterday and would have been respectable without the big error.
