Kurvetrening (2012-09-03)

Really tricky contour only training on a fairly green map near Verdal. Lost a lot of time from mistakes as well as taking it carefully in the tricky sections. (1) Thought I started closer to the triangle than I did, and didn’t want to leave the track even though I knew I needed to. (2) The circle covered the edge of the square hill before the control, so I thought the hill ended at the control site, and hunted abput 30m too short for a while. (3) Drifted a little to the right, and stopped short also. (4) Stopped too short on this control also. (5) Quite an easy leg but I was a bit hesitant in the circle as I didn’t want to run past it down the wrong re-entrant. (7) Took me a while to realize that for the second half of the leg I would be running downhill. Stopped about 50m short also. (8) Too low approaching the control and almost ran past it. (9) The worst control on the course. Turned back on my first attempt because I thought I ha gone too far, but then I didn’t know if I had or not. Sort of fluked finding it by thinking I was somewhere else and hitting it on the way. Overall I stopped short a lot which is interesting. Need more pratice on contour only maps I think
