Joe's comments - by leg
| 1. |
Bad route choice Bad map reading Confused parallel features Lacked concentration Time Lost: 03:00 | ran towards no.11, ran in circles for a while looking for a reentrant. realized it was the wrong one and ran around south east side of pond, bobbled the final approach. |
| 2. |
Hesitated Frustrated Time Lost: 00:55 | not thinking well, not reading, no attack point, no plan, just running stupid, missed obvious route and ran past the control |
| 3. | Time Lost: 00:10 | ran too far down reentrant, climbe up over extra hill, found it ok after |
| 4. | best leg of the day, nothing to think about | |
| 5. | Time Lost: 00:15 | followed plan of just running east to the road, picked up location quick and ran hard down hill to new tree felling area. picked way through and read map into control, but with some hesitation to read cliffs/contours north of control |
| 6. |
No attack point Did not check features en route Underrated difficulty Read map too late Time Lost: 01:15 | more stupid running, never dropped the contours, ran along trail little bit, did not recognize the bend and continued contouring just below cliff, started to climb hill on other side of stream? stopped to read map and relocated down the hill to stone wall |
| 7. | not too bad, read map, contoured low and approached from below, saw it from 50m | |
| 8. |
Hesitated Time Lost: 00:20 | no plan, no attack point, ran too far east in wide open area with no features. should have run close to steep slope. got lucky though and stopped just below cliff to relocate and find boulder |
| 9. |
Hesitated Time Lost: 00:30 | walked most the way, looking into the sun with fogged glasses, picked up clearing just before |
| 10. | nice leg, ran most way, getting tired though and keep falling on my face, easy approach | |
| 11. |
No attack point Did not check features en route Underrated difficulty Read map too late Bad map reading Bad compass work Confused parallel features Bad distance judgement Could not relocate Not thinking clearly Frustrated Time Lost: 07:10 | this was the worst I have been in a long time. made a parallel error in reading the reentrants, only to find out after I had been in the correct location. ended up 200 meters to west of control. |
| 12. | Time Lost: 00:20 | gave up, ran to trail and took route around to road and back door |
| 13. | Time Lost: 00:20 | cool down |
