Canadian Nationals, Sprint Course 3b. Three mistakes. First, the hardest maze route hit us right out of the start triangle, and I flubbed it. I thought the solution was to go up the stairs next to the building about half-way through, but that was fenced off. So, back down and through the overhang on the next building over. Second, I couldn't find the tree on #9. Crossed one too many paths and got into the reentrant before turning around. Clever course setters -- the control wasn't visible from below. Third, and worst of all, I missed the gate into the field for the go control, and ran around the outside of the fence just opposite the control before I realized the problem. So, 2 minutes of mistakes and that's where all the action was.
