Did not plan ahead Unused to terrain | I was on track for a slow but steady event through 3. Aided a medium-map team while at my control. |
| 4. | I should have run right over the top of the clear patch & I would have seen control from elevation. Instead, I stuck close to wooded fringe on E side and lost tons of time. | |
| 5. | Took bearing off sunny shadows and missed by 700m N. | |
| 6. | Straight forward run down to and along rocky beach. | |
| 7. | From the beach through GREEN to curve in road, N at trail and caught up with dog walkers and spotted control flag through woods. | |
| 8. | Went NNE and down then all the way back up, losing tons of time, passing very scary cliffs which shot up my adrenalin. Gave up & went back to hilltops E of control 7. Watched medium-map runners fight about mislabelled control. From the tops, I watched dog walkers and others heading from 8 to 9. Sighted cliff I needed. | |
| 9. | Control 9 is visible on hill top from 8 but what route would have been best. | |
| 10. | From 9 down to pond, control is right across pond. Took ski trails N and E round pond but trail was not real trail. Stuck to pond side to my detriment. Should have taken road. | |
| 11. | Again passed dog walkers & others who had caught me. |
