| 1. |
Bad distance judgement Hesitated +00:10 | Stopped short. Expected to see the control sooner as I came down the reentrant, because I misjudged the distance. | |||||

| 4. | |||||||
| 5. |
Bad map reading Confused parallel features Hesitated +00:20 | Stopped and looked around in the clearing higher up on the spur. | |||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. |
Did not like map +00:15 | Used cliff on same contour in reentrant as my attackpoint, but I ended up significantly too high, so I think the map is wrong. The boulder was invisible from above--basically it was a tiny cliff. | |||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. |
Did not like map +00:10 | I had to stay a lot farther left than I expected to stay out of the green--clearly mismapped. I didn't hesitate too long though and mostly kept moving okay. | |||||
| 10. |
Hesitated Unused to map +00:10 | Stopped right before the control, because I didn't see the feature. I should have known at this point in the course that rock features are invisible from any distance on this map. | |||||
| 11. |
Lacked confidence Hesitated +00:10 | I stopped just above the control, because I expected to see either a marker or something that looked more like a cliff. I still wasn't getting the map--pretty dense of me--must be mentally tired, maybe from so much driving in the last couple of days. | |||||
| 12. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Hesitated +01:00 | Stopped on the spur before the control. I was 75 meters farther to the right on the spur than I thought I was, so nothing made sense when I looked down into the reentrant ahead of me for the control. I saw neither rock nor marker. I inched forward anyway and finally saw the big cliffs and scree slope above the control. | |||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Disturbed by others +00:30 | I went very far to the left, crossing the fence and climbing an extra one or two contours en route to the trail. I did this because I was trying to run away from Rex Winterbottom, who was right behind me going into control 13. As a result, he almost overtook me at #14 but made a small miss going in. | |||||
| 15. |
Bad compass work Disturbed by others +00:20 | Again, I got careless because Rex was behind me, and I ran off down the hill without being careful enough with my compass. I swooped too far to the right, then eased to a jog, scoped things out, and corrected. | |||||
| 16. |
Bad map reading Hesitated Unused to map +00:10 | Stopped on the road, because the large, paved walkways were mapped as small trails, despite being similar in appearance to the road that they joined. Also, I was confused not to see the flowing stream on the map; it was shown as a deep erosion gully (thick brown line). | |||||
