Sprint Qualification at the University of Surrey. Much more complicated than any non-woods sprint I'd done before. I think more complicated than any wooded sprint I've done - very difficult reading a good route through all the narrow passages between buildings, hedges, walls and fences at high speed. I was in heat 1. I almost overran my first control during the phase of figuring out where it was. I did overrun my second control, cutting through an opening in the hedge just past the one I wanted and consequently looking at the corner of the wrong building and taking much too long to figure it out. Even more embarassingly, I managed to run past a control (5?) placed at a bend in a path I was following (I must have been reading the map at that moment which I should have done in the 300 preceding meters of trivial navigation). Less boneheadedness thereafter but that was enough damage. Quite an intoxicating experience.
