Anna's comments - by leg
| 1. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Hesitated because I was expecting the saddle to be visible. |
| 2. | Left of first hill, right of second hill. Read contours okay. | |
| 3. |
Not thinking clearly | I got to my hill fine, but I wasn't focused on what I should be looking for when I got there. Searched the group of rocks inside the control circle before going the rest of the way to the knoll. Also, I wasn't keeping my eyes open. |
| 4. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 03:00 | Knew exactly where I was coming across the marshy area and up the hill. I got to the line of cliffs where the control was and thought I saw the middle one down further. The control description said "north foot of cliff," so I climbed down into the reentrant with great difficulty. I ended up at the bottom of that huge cliff, and then I had to climb about 4 countour lines when I finally realized where I was. |
| 5. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 04:00 | I went up the reentrant and around the spur to the hill I was looking for. I couldn't read all the rock inside the control circle, so I used the contours to find out where i was. I went to where I thought it was and didn't see a 2.5m cliff or a control. After checking the cliff I came up by, I went back and saw the control. |
| 6. |
Not thinking clearly Time Lost: 00:45 | I had trouble reading the contours on the way. I aimed for the spur just past the control because that was easier for me to recognize, but I forgot that that wasn't the feature I was looking for and had to run back across the little reentrant to my control. |
| 7. |
Not thinking clearly | Hesitated a tiny bit at the bare rock one reentrant too soon. |
| 8. |
Not thinking clearly Hesitated Time Lost: 00:15 | Up the reentrant, to the left of the first hill and down to the flat spot on the hill where the boulder was. There was a nice little path by that time. |
| 9. | This was the beginning of the easy navigation and fast running. I ran with someone in BAOC garb who was smart enough to run down the top of the spur and avoid the reentrants. I was reading the countours well and got in and out of the control pretty quickly. | |

| 11. | Saw Kelsey Breseman and read the rocks down the hill to the reentrant my control was in. | |
| 12. | I didn't like the climb, but I spiked this control. | |
| 13. | ||
| 14. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Was a little low, but I was reading the map okay and would've been able to recover had I not seen the control. |
| 15. | Chased somebody down and practiced keeping good form in an uphill finish. |
