| 4. | Went right around the marsh; bad choice, I think. | ||||||
| 5. | Left fork. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | +00:30 | Ok, I was not 100% sure of where I left the trail, but basically followed the marsh edge into the control. Marsh edge was kind of funky, so lots of hesitation. | |||||
| 8. | +00:20 | Went a little bit far around on the right, pulled a bit by Audun. Time lost is mostly in picking the least-optimal micro-route through brambles. I could probably subtract this time from every leg. | |||||
| 9. | +03:00 | Took the first big trail, then the little trail off it, then got kind of lazy when I saw Peter up ahead and stopped paying close attention. Lost probably 1.5 min looking for the control. The rest of the time is on taking a bloody stupid route to the road, by trying to hit the trail way to the east. Much better route would be to just go basically straight. | |||||

| 13. | +02:00 | Made some non-optimal choices here. First, got stuck in green stuff right away, then went btwn the unpassable marshes, eventually crossing just below the N one, hit the small trail and followed it W for a while, then strung together some trails and came at the control from the E. Better, I think, to head straighter and avoid some climb. | |||||
| 14. | I don't think this control was in quite the right place, but whatever. | ||||||
| 15. | Skipped | ||||||
| 16. | +00:20 | On trails a good bit of the way, kind of unsure where exactly on the big trail at first. | |||||
| 17. | Easy. | ||||||
| 18. | Easy. | ||||||
| 19. | Easy. | ||||||
| 20. | Pretty much spiked it, although I didn't notice how high up it would be. | ||||||
| 21. | Nice view! Probably could have taken a route with a bit less green, but I did pretty well on this one. | ||||||
| 22. | A tad L of the line, through the clearings. | ||||||
| 23. | |||||||
| F. | Overall, not a bad day. Took it as training since I'm in pretty poor shape at the moment. Need to work on moving more efficiently through the woods, noticing more details/more important details (i.e. need to do more map reading). |
