Pay attention!
You've got to pay attention to orienteer well. Concentrate on what you're doing. If you don't -- if you're mind wanders -- you'll boom or run too slow.
I was thinking about concentration when I was driving to and from work today. I was paying attention (!) to what other drivers were doing. You can spot a driver who is talking on a cell phone from a long ways away. They're the ones wandering out of the lane, slowing as soon as the road goes up a little bit of a grade, or both. Paying attention to the phone makes the driver stop concentrating on what they are doing. Their driving performance suffers. There's a good orienteering lesson.
