Underrated difficulty Confused parallel features Lacked concentration Hesitated Disturbed by others Time Lost: 00:30 | From 3 to the EW trail, I didn't recognize features. Was better N of the trail. Stopped by lost orienteer. Tied shoe. |
| 5. | Straightforward. | |

Lacked confidence Hesitated | I think I took an optimal route here; tried to avoid most of the green, but the white was kind of thick too. |
| 7. |
Lacked confidence Hesitated | Same as the last leg. I probably went to slow on these two legs, because they looked hard, but everything was where I expected it as I came upon them. |

Bad route choice Not thinking clearly Time Lost: 00:30 | Too clever by half; should have just followed the red line. |

No attack point Did not plan ahead Took a chance Underrated difficulty Ran too fast Read map too late Bad distance judgement Could not relocate Frustrated Time Lost: 06:45 | Not sure what happened here. Wanted to go more or less straight; I thought that I was simply avoiding the medium green patch and I ended up way off the map. Crossed a stream S of the map. Finally relocated to the rocky slope W of control. |
| 10. | Time Lost: 01:30 | Was doing OK here until I saw a water control across the stream and figured that there couldn't be two water controls so close. There were. |
| 11. | Time Lost: 00:30 | The white area here was much thicker than it looks and I ended going to far left of the red line. |
