1. | I went a bit to the right of the line, then got on the indistinct trail to the left of the control. Maybe left to the road would have been better. | ||||||
2. | Down hill to trail. Right, then first left. | ||||||
3. |
Did not plan ahead Hesitated +00:03 | Took trail North down hill. Right, then first left. Hmmm...pretty much the same as the last leg. Hesitated a bit at trail junctions on last part of leg. | |||||
4. | Bailed out North to the road, and followed it around. | ||||||
5. | Took trail to the left. | ||||||
6. |
Did not plan ahead Hesitated +00:03 | Followed trail SE to main trail, then cut in after intersection. Really easy leg, but I hesitated because I hadn't looked at the map yet. | |||||
7. |
Did not plan ahead Read map too late Confused parallel features Hesitated +00:30 | Again, I didn't read ahead. Contoured out of #6 right through the green (-5 seconds), then hesitated at spur to the North of #7 on the shallow hill. Jogged slowly down the trail, then figured things out and cut in from SE of the control (-25 seconds). I mapped the spur and hill in February, so it's surprising that I made my biggest mistake here! | |||||
8. | Straight, following trails. | ||||||
9. | A bit right of the line to the big N-S trail. | ||||||
10. |
Read map too late Hesitated +00:10 | Went up the hill on the trail, then hesitated at the top to read my map. Almost blew past it to the left before checking the map. | |||||
11. |
Hesitated +00:05 | Ran East out of 10, went through saddle, then hesitated because I thought I was going too low, then I decided it didn't matter, as long as I avoided the unmapped green. | |||||
12. | Seemed like I went straight North, but I thought I was on the trail. Maybe the map is funny here. | ||||||
13. |
Did not plan ahead Hesitated +00:08 | Hadn't read ahead, so I hesitated (thought I'd gone too far) before turning left at the second trail junction, then turning immediately right to the control. | |||||
14. | Ran trail, then cut left to road a little over half way through the leg. | ||||||
15. |
Read map too late Hesitated +00:05 | Headed SSE to gate in fence; skirted left of building, then straight around end of high fence. Hesitated to figure out where the control was after going through the gate just before the control. | |||||
16. | Trail to fence opening, then straight for it. | ||||||
17. | Field, then road, then trail from road junction. | ||||||
F. | Straight across field. |
