QOC Fountainhead Blue course. Took the option of map without trails. Did the first 13 of 17 controls but after 32 minutes on #13, it was time for control pickup so I just jogged/walked in. Should have just finished the course since without trails it took me almost as long to get back as it took others I saw near 13 to complete the course. I had been doing ok until the screw up at 13. I had gone to the correct reentrant on my first pass but not seen the bag. Thinking I must have made a parallel error I had to relocate by trying to count reentrants in the green. Eventually ended up back where I started and found the bag this time.
Splits are posted.

Come in from control 13. Mostly a slow jog and walk. Mostly stuck to trails and took whatever one seemed to head in the right directlion.

Since I was still around, I got stuck picking up a few controls. Walked the whole way and orienteered pretty badly as well.
