| 1. | +00:04 | Hurt my back 2 weeks ago so haven't been doing much training. Wanted to run smart instead of real hard. Wasn't very fast today. Started off Slow. Couldn't find the triangle right away. Went straights but hit other control first and did go over and check it. Proceeded carefully onto our control. | |||||
| 2. | +00:20 | slightly right of line. Hit the correct spot but was a little low. Control was behind a log and I couldn't see it event though I was in the correct ditch junction. Crossed ditch and slowly proceeded on. Went about 15 meters and then could see the control. | |||||
| 3. | Up the hill through the rough open. right of line past first "depression". Second depression was up and over a hill area. Suprised at how deep the depressions were. I would have mapped them as pits. | ||||||
| 4. | Left of line then dropped into it. | ||||||
| 5. | +01:00 | Crossing set of ditches got confused and started heading towards eight. Realized soon that I was suppose to go to 5. dropped to low and had to climb up to control | |||||
| 6. | Stayed high and dropped down ditch where control was. | ||||||
| 7. | straight | ||||||
| 8. | +00:10 | Stayed high. Lost some time when I crossed small ruined fence which wasn't ruined where I crossed it. It wasn't the fence I was expecting so had to think a bit. | |||||
| 9. | +00:10 | I was expecting the bench to be in the open. Ran to the area but didn't orienteer well. Finally saw bench in the green which if I had bothered to read the map was where it should have been. | |||||
| 10. | I cut throught the field. I don't think this was the best route. | ||||||
| 11. | +00:30 | Straight. I was high and went past the control. On talking with others, we agreed the control was hung lower than the mapped. I think it was hung in the wrong reentrant. | |||||
| 12. | +00:30 | Straight. Was to low because the last control was hung wrong. Stood there trying to see the root stocks. Decided I liked higher better than lower. Couldn't see the depression until right on top of it. | |||||
| 13. | Straight. Hesitated crossing main stream to be sure where I was so entering technical area I would be sound. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight. | ||||||
| 15. | +02:15 | Straight to 16. didn't realize 15 dropped south as it was under my thumb compass. At 16 the code didn't match so I started heading up the hill. Then realized the code was 16 and felt stupid for miss reading the code. Went back to 16 and punched. It took me 1:28 to get to 16 at this point. Something didn't click so I stopped and rethought where I had been. Yes I was at 13, 14, ? I don't recall going to 15. DUHHHH!. Back to 15. About 1:45 to get from 16 to 15. Oh by the way, someone followed me from 14 to 16 to 15. | |||||
| 16. | Back to 16. Went straighter this time. | ||||||
| 17. | Out to the trail. Down trail to the bend. Couldn't get into the woods so had to cut back again down the trail to find a spot to get into the woods. Ran over. About the time I wanted to know where I was I saw #2. Over to 17 | ||||||
| 18. | Never saw the trail so went straigtish. I got stuck in some thorns and had to back out at one point. Disc golf people waiting to throw when I crossed the first field. | ||||||
| 19. | |||||||
