Hoofstones Nav race today, full winter on the tops, probably silly to do it in a vest and shorts (I believe the only one to remain that way throughout).
7 minutes faster and .25 miles more direct than 2019. I need a better compass.
Took a better racing line than previously, but still had a couple of errors. Annoyingly I was at the front of the little pack around me, so was navving independently, only to realise I was heading too southwardly, looked back and saw those behind me had cut more east (due to local knowledge, not a map in sight).
Funny really, lost more time actually navigating, but what else are you supposed to do with no one in sight to follow?
Still, a great run and the season continues to go well - so far at least.
