| 1. | As a general note, I'm not very good at estimating lost time. Following pack. | ||||||

Did not plan ahead Did not check features en route Read map too late Bad compass work Bad distance judgement Hesitated +00:45 | Lost the pack at 2. Wasn't really into the map yet and not concentrating well. I tried to follow the edge of the green and when I got to the trail I wasn't confident that I knew where I was. I assumed I was correct and apparently I was right. | |||||

Hesitated Unused to terrain +00:30 | I went down to follow the marsh and couldn't figure out where the edge of the marsh was until I realized I was in the marsh. So then I was fine until I had to leave the marsh, and I left it early, ending up a bit south of the actual control, but I saw people at the control so it didn't cost me much time. | |||||
| 5. |
Bad map reading Bad distance judgement +00:30 | I was trying to go straight to the trail, but I thought the trail was right when the terrain dropped off, so when I got to the drop off I wasn't sure what was going on. Eventually I read the map and was ok, but I should have read the map closely immediately when I was unsure. | |||||

Bad route choice Did not follow plan +00:30 | I intended to go straight through the green, which I think I should have done, but when I got to it it seemed better to try to go up and follow the strip of white, which I did. | |||||

Bad compass work Hesitated Disturbed by others +00:30 | I got to the trail intersection, and I intended to compass bear to the control, but fell a bit low, then saw another control, which I knew was not mine but felt I should check anyway. Then I relocated and went straight to the control. | |||||

Bad compass work +00:05 | Came down to the road at the wrong point, to the east of the intersection I had intended | |||||
