| 1. | No map for the first loop and I don't remember all the details... | |
| 2. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 01:30 | Got tangled up in the dark green east of the control. |
| 3. |
Ran too fast Read map too late Time Lost: 00:45 | Lost contact with the map. Had to go slow for a bit to match contours with map. |
| 4. | Time Lost: 00:45 | Map reading |
| 5. | Perhaps I should have run the trail. Followed the white through the woods northeast of red line. | |
| 6. | Time Lost: 01:10 | Spent a lot of time reading the map enroute. Got caught in on thick area. |
| 7. | Time Lost: 00:20 | Confused the control circled for 8 as 7. Went a little out of the way. |
| 8. | Time Lost: 00:15 | Dropped my map. |
| 9. | Map exchange. Watch went into a different mode so I didn't capture the splits after 8. Estimated splits for the last 6 + finish. | |
| 10. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Chose to go up the hill to the trail and then over to 9. Should have taken the reentrant further to the east and gone straight up to the control. |
| 11. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Didn't see the control right away. |
| 12. | Time Lost: 01:20 | 50 m too far west. Map checking and recovery + bad approach. Control was in a 7-8 foot deep ditch. Should have attacked from the east. |
| 13. | Time Lost: 00:20 | Climbed out of the ditch the wrong direction. Had trouble reaching the control, but then everyone else should have as well. |

Bad route choice Time Lost: 01:00 | Bad route choice. Should have gone out to the road and taken the path below control. |
| 16. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Realized my watch wasn't in chrono mode so I wasn't capturing splits. Stop looking at the watch and RUN! |
