Tundra/Desert's comments - by leg
| 1. |
Did not like map Did not read control description Not thinking clearly Time Lost: 03:30 | Found the little knoll with a big cliff and thought that was the larger knoll right before the control (and that the cliff was unmapped). After that, looked for a boulder instead of "between knolls". Abi there. |
| 2. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:40 | Too excited; left #1 going NE instead of NW. Abi caught up. |
| 3. |
Bad route choice Bad compass work Hesitated Time Lost: 01:40 | Went through the boulders/green NW of Incredible Pond. After that, strayed to the E near the SE impassable swamp. After that, hesitated a bit around the control. Abi must have passed me. |
| 4. | Ran so fast I could not recall my route afterwards. Caught up with Dan Meenehan and Abi. | |
| 5. |
Did not read control description Time Lost: 00:10 | Just missed it into a bigger reentrant directly W of the control. |

Bad map reading Time Lost: 00:50 | In the beginning, finally shook Dan off but Abi still with me. Mistook something vague for the correct spur on approach and did a little loop W of the control on top of the ridge. Abi got to the bag first. |
| 8. | Took trails into the control. Abi gone. | |
| 9. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:30 | Again, left #8 in the wrong direction (towards where people were coming from - though they were coming in from between the lakes). |
| 10. | Took trails almost all the way into #10. | |
| 11. | Trails, again. | |
