| 1. | Time Lost: 00:20 | I had seen Mike Eglinski Start so knew the general direction to start off. Down the trail, around the first reentrant and into the woods. I stayed south of the straight line and crossed the ride junction area. I then climbed to high and had to drop back down. |
| 2. | Time Lost: 00:45 | Decided it didn't make any sense to climb in order to hit the trail. I contoured around and went up the eastern cliffs. I ran by one reentrant and over to the second. Unfortunately, I didn't realize there were suppose to be two so I hesistated and started back to check things out. |
| 3. | Walked up the reentrant/hill. Went fairly straight. | |
| 4. | Down the reentrant and up and over the other hill. | |
| 5. | Straight line, right by the ruin. I thought about going right along the stream but decided it was to steep to run. | |
| 6. | Stupid control. Straight up the hill. | |
| 7. | Time Lost: 00:20 | Did not run around. Crossed the reentrant by the gully/end of stream. The circle hid one of the contours so I didn't see the correct shape of the spur. I was to high. |
| 8. | Straight. Nice Hill. | |
| 9. | I took the trail around to avoid a lot of climb. Because I was tired of climbing I ran to far around. | |
| 10. | Time Lost: 00:40 | Straight to the trail. Trail around to the hill by the start. I dropped down into the reentrant and there was the control. It wasn't mine. I could see another control farther down the same reentrant but it didn't look like a bend so I decided I must be short. I started on but there wasn't another reentrant so I ran back to the other control. This was very bad course setting to have two controls in the same reentrant within site of each other. |
| 11. | straight | |
| 12. | Down reentrant to the stream junction, up saddle, down trail a little bit. | |
| 13. | Time Lost: 01:20 | Plan was to run to the steam junction and climb from there. Unfortunately when I hit the stream junction I was distracted by the some ROTC kids who bugged me to know where their control was. I told them I couldn't help and ran on. Unfortunately I kept running in the same direction and didn't start climbing. I hit the river and started down the trail annoyed at the distraction. As a result I had to climb through the green/mountain laurel. I then misread the map and didn't realize it was over the spur. |
| 14. | straight. | |
| 15. | Up to the trail. Across the spur and into the control. | |
| 16. | I decided it wasn't worth running around so I went more or less straight. I was hesistant on the final approach. Control was burried in the leaves. | |
| 17. | Hey, I had already been to this control. | |
| 18. | Down trail to stop of first spur then straight. | |
| 19. | Trail to the road. I was really tired so not moving fast. Road to reentrant past fenced area then straight. | |

| 21. | I went straight. I didn't take the trail around. | |
