Bad route choice Hesitated +01:00 | I took the trail and then ran up the reentrant. Probably would have been faster to run directly and follow the wall. Even so, I saw two controls which I didn't think were on my course but figured I'd make sure they weren't. | |||||
| 2. |
Did not check features en route Did not like map Bad distance judgement +01:00 | My route choice was to follow the trail below the cliffs until I got to the stream at the end of the cliffs. My reasoning was that I didn't trust myself to be able to follow all those little cliffs. I crossed a stream which I didn't see on the map, and that threw me off. I ended up following my route pretty closely, though. Ran into another control that I knew wasn't on my course ... | |||||

Hesitated +00:10 | Went slowly to make sure I knew where I was. | |||||

Bad compass work +00:15 | I went around the marsh, got on the trail and compass bore to the control. Everything went fine except my going around the marsh through the green was pretty haphazard. | |||||

Bad route choice Hesitated +00:15 | I went up to the road and down the field, probably would have been faster to go directly. | |||||

Bad route choice Did not plan ahead +01:00 | At first I thought I'd just go around the marsh. Then it everyone else seemed to be going straight across, so I ended up crossing at the narrow point in the marsh, following the westernmost stream, which worked much better than I thought it would, but was a bit roundabout. After that I went slowly to make sure I was on the same cliffs I thought I was on. | |||||

Hesitated +00:10 | Hesitated a bit coming into the control | |||||
| 14. | I think it would have been faster to follow the ridge than to go down to the road like I did, but I'm not sure. | ||||||

Bad route choice Not thinking clearly +00:10 | I'm not sure what I was thinking. I should have just gone straight but instead I ran haphazardly through the green. | |||||

Tired +00:30 | This is where I really started to tire out, but I didn't make any mistakes on this one. | |||||
| 17. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Tired Lacked concentration +01:30 | I intended to follow the eastern edge of the fields, but got off course while compass bearing through the green and wound up in the off-limits housing zone. I ended up following the western edge of the fields. I'm not sure how much time this wasted. | |||||

Tired +00:30 | Moving slowly but no mistakes. | |||||

Bad route choice Did not follow plan Tired Hesitated Frustrated +05:00 | Once again, I don't know what I was thinking. I should have just gone straight. I ended up going through the marsh which was pretty disgusting and really slow. | |||||

| F. | As a general note, I'm not good at quantifying errors. Also, I wasn't in shape for this course and my concentration and endurance were way down by the end. |
