| 1. |
Hesitated Unused to map Unused to terrain | Didn't want to go up through the green by the wall so went further to path and up to wall corner and in from there. |
| 2. |
Bad route choice Unused to terrain Time Lost: 01:00 | Probably climbed to high because remember coming down to the saddle. Straight from there. |
| 3. |
Unused to terrain | Straight along the ridge. |
| 4. |
Did not plan ahead Did not check features en route Bad map reading Not thinking clearly Lacked concentration Time Lost: 01:00 | Went pretty much straight line at first then got concerned about not knowing where I was so cut left toward path. Then spotted the hill off to the right. |
| 5. |

| 6. |

Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Time Lost: 00:15 | Should have gone up small reentrant but drifted right going to the trail and ended up to the right of the split. Came back and contoured in keeping marsh off to the right. |

Did not check features en route Time Lost: 00:15 | Straight to the trail, jogged right to the creek crossing. Somehow got a little high to the right and had to drop back down to the control. |

Followed others | Contoured to the wall with the green on the other side. Followed wall to powerline. Was going to cross the dam but everone was running down the path so joined the pack. Went in from the bend (like everyone else). |
| 12. |
Bad map reading Bad compass work Followed others Time Lost: 01:00 | This one had me worried. Wasn't sure where I was crossing the creek but kept going. I had drifted left but saw people leaving the control so lucked out. |
| 13. | Checked off the boulders and only had to turn slightly left into the control. | |
| 14. |
Lacked confidence Hesitated Time Lost: 00:30 | Worried about this one too. Wasn't sure about the contours until I saw the top of the ridge. Bumped into the control. |
| 15. | Time Lost: 00:15 | Didn't feel like I had done much running so took the opportunity here. Ran up the road toward #16 and cut left past the old foundation to the path. Probably should have gone closer to 16 to avoid the foundation. Ran off the path bend past the first pair of knolls to the second pair. |
| 16. | Looped around the dark green to the end of the path. | |
