I ran 100m beyond 10 before catching myself. That should have set me up well for R2 but I drifted right, convinced myself hilltop control was missing, headed west to 6 and asked runner about R2 while 5m from R2, d'oh. I was now not running far enough for any controls. I looked for 4 too soon. I expected swamp to be wetter and crossed and revisited 3 before S to R1. Run to 5 seemed really long and I had drifted left. Time was up and I put head down for straight run E through woods to F. Somehow I drifted significantly left and revisited 1. This wasn't all bad as I now had first trail option and picked up 20 for bonus.
As poor as my results were, I won't be changing strategy. I'm using the score-O for longer run training.
One of my control punches was missed by the official scorer but that's not going to make any difference in the end, especially because I'm in Calgary for the final event.
