Bad route choice Not thinking clearly Time Lost: 00:20 | Intended to follow the stone wall but should have just gone straight until I hit the clearing. I was being too cautious since there were no trails on the map. |

| 4. | Saw Marek punch the control but was headed straight for it anyway | |

Bad compass work Time Lost: 00:10 | Got onto a trail which I followed until the ridge with the stone wall on it, then went straight over the hilltop, but was a bit too far south of the control. |

Bad distance judgement Not thinking clearly Time Lost: 00:30 | Got onto another trail and cut off when I saw #8. Realized I had cut off too early and went straight to 7, where I looked for the control too high in the reentrant. |

Bad route choice Took a chance Time Lost: 01:00 | At this point I figured I could "figure out" the trails. Definitely not the case. I ended up going way around to the start/finish, but not even straight there. The one saving grace was that I could run faster once I knew which huge trail I was on. |
| 11. | Ran straight back the way I came. |
