Bad map reading Time Lost: 00:15 | Misread control description (off by one). Compass work was good though and recovered quickly because I was right by the control. |

Confused parallel features Time Lost: 01:00 | Made parallel error and climbed northern spur rather than the southern. I followed a trail and that led me that direction. I have to stop following unmarked trails and adhere to mapped features. |

Lacked confidence Hesitated Time Lost: 00:30 | I hesitated at the edge of the creek while searching for a dryer crossing. I should have just charged right on through the water. I know how to swim! |

| 11. | Time Lost: 00:20 | I think the map or the CP was a little off here. I walked a precise bearing from CP10 two times, once racing, once on control retrieval, and both times ended up 15~20 meters east of CP11. Though each time easily recovered by looking for the top of the subtle hill cited in the CP description. |
