Jerritt
| 1. | went very slowly, getting used to map. Followed trails and attacked from south | ||||||
| 2. | still walking. Not sure but I must have spent time looking for flag | ||||||
| 3. | up re-entrant to trail, across road and followed clearings, dead on, but slow | ||||||
| 4. |
Bad map reading Confused parallel features Unused to terrain +03:00 | went out to power line, then attacked from re-entrant. I think I went to southern clearing of the 3 close together | |||||
| 5. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Confused parallel features Unused to terrain +12:00 | Blew this one. Followed spur to SW of control. Saw that I was by the hunting tower, but it was the wrong one. I re-attacked from the southern tower multiple times before checking to make sure the trails lined up with the map. they did not. Followed path to N tower and went right to contrl | |||||
| 6. | Straight across re-entrant | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | down trail to overgrown area, then across road on to broad spur and into control. | ||||||
| 9. | pretty much straight | ||||||
| 10. | being safe, I followed trail and into control | ||||||
| 11. |
Did not follow plan Bad map reading Lacked concentration Unused to terrain +05:00 | took long trail route then attacked from broad hill where the fence is mapped. Got drawn away by other control and lost map focus. Spent some time getting back in contact. | |||||
| 12. | Took trail up and around attacked from S | ||||||
| 13. | pretty much straight | ||||||
| 14. | +20:00 | This ruined my race. Looking back, I think what happened was that I came straight south, accidentally, took the short trail running the the SW, and thought i was in a different spot. Then I attacked from where I thought I was. Problem was I was 100 meters to the NW of the control. Lost complete contact with the map and it took forever to relocate. | |||||
| 15. | down trail to clearing and in | ||||||
| 16. | Trail to control | ||||||
| F. | disheartened. jogged to finish. A few seconds wouldn't matter at that point |
