After a long wait in the registration line I was off on a very pleasent and warm day.
Ran right past #1 and punched a control almost 50m further away. Took a while to figure out where I really needed to go.
2 - 7 was good. But then I dropped my guard leaving 7 and crossed a street instead of running along it (a 90 degree error) that took me well off the map...like I was headed for a coffee or something.
also botched 13 even though I was trying to be careful. Turns out this area isnotmapped well with vegitation.
many controls were root stocks which I didn't hold much weight with so I used topology and other features. I found myself using trails as refrence points which I usually avoid.
