OO-Cup Slovenia, Stage 1, W21A long, 5,9km +200m climb

A race to forget. Too much and too big orienteering mistakes and feeling bad physically. Much too much of the course left at the end of my strength...
Details:
1) Came too far left. 20s
5) Seemed to have lost time here compared to my other splits. Can't see an obvious orienteering mistake, but maybe the route was a bit too curvy and too woobly. 1 min. slower than everyone else.
7) Catasthropic control of the day. Came much too far down, never really had any idea were I was and needed 2 attempts too relocate :( 14 min. lost
8) Took the path route because I hoped for better runability and easier orienteering. Instead paths were very indistinct, so was as slow as I would have moved on the direct route. 1 min?
9-11) Finally 3 clean controls again.
12) Left the control in the wrong direction. Took me a long time to figure out where I ended up and then it meant to take a longer route choice than I wanted. At least it gave me the chance to hit the badly needed refreshment control. Another 6 min. lost
Last part of the race was reasonably clear orienteeringwise, but I just broke down completely physically. Even on clean legs I was a lot slower than Lena with mistakes and I was overtaken by an old lady with a walking stick :( As I said, too muich of the course left at the end of my strenght...
Total mistakes: 22:30; around 3min mistakes/km - indiscutably bad race. And of course, without the mistakes I would have nearly finished before the physical breakdown, which may have meant another 5 to 10 min. gain.
