Actually, I've gotten better lately...because I've been working on warming up better.
Yeah. Unfortunately, the worst problem was my lack of focus, which shows on the first two controls. I basically walked the second control so I could think about other things and try to get things sorted out in my head, which shows up in my time. (I actually didn't make any navigational errors on that control, except for a small hesitation when I was attacking it from the road bend south of it.)
