mindsweeper
| 1. | Noticed the missing trail junction without getting delayed by it. | ||||||
| 2. | On path and straight through the green. | ||||||
| 3. | +01:00 | Past 6 then veered to the left. Stopped and tried figuring out why I wasn't hitting another trail, but decided to continue. Arrived just at the junction by the big 'green' depression. | |||||
| 4. | +16:00 | Very poor map reading. I think I was confused by the logging roads and various other controls and people. I veered to the left and hit the trail by the 'green' depression twice before I figured out what was going on. | |||||
| 5. | +02:00 | Decided to have some GU. Confused by extra trail belowe the main one in the green below the control | |||||
| 6. | +01:00 | Did not read contours well and zig-zagged a bit. | |||||
| 7. | +01:00 | After all the previous mistakes I started being very cautious and careful. | |||||
| 8. | On trail for most of it. Hit marsh at the corner of the green and knew where I was. | ||||||
| 9. | More or less straight. Not 100% where I was as I approached the control but I found the green. | ||||||
| 10. | Climbed too far to the left and came down through larger reentrant towards the path. | ||||||
| 11. | Straight - saw hunting tower on the way there. Confused by the unmapped green next to the small marsh, but decided it had to be it. | ||||||
| 12. | On faint trail. | ||||||
| 13. | Through the green on bike trail, right on the other side of the green. Straight from the second right turn. | ||||||
| 14. | +00:15 | Missed slightly to the left. | |||||
| 15. | I made the dumb decision to run on the small windy trail instead of the big one. Not sure what got me into this. | ||||||
| 16. | Tried to stay high which was probably a bad idea. Finally dropped down and took the trail. | ||||||
| 17. | On road and cut down the hill to the right before the last cabin. | ||||||
| 18. | |||||||
