| 1. | Seemed to take me forever to find the start triangle and orient the map. | ||||||
| 2. | Started out heading too much East, which meant extra climb. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:30 | I went to the cliff above the one the flag was on, and took too long to figure it out. | |||||
| 4. | +01:00 | Bizarre. I went to the right cliff, attacking from the N., but the circle suggested to me it was on the S side and I never saw the flag as I swung around. Stood there looking stupid. Decided to check the top of the cliff (since I had no clues). Still nothing. Looked around at the terrain. Convinced myself I had to be at the right cliff. Started to go around it again and, by magic, the flag was there, tucked into a nook. By now, over a minute was lost. | |||||
| 5. | +00:45 | I was pissed, so I did what I often do when I'm pissed: make another mistake. In this case, down to the road. Took road to the bend, then over to the intricate little trails. Somehow, I went right past the flag without seeing it tucked into the hedge. Circled around the little pond. When I came back, it had magically appeared. | |||||
| 6. | I was pretty well rested from the last two controls, so I ran hard the rest of the way without further incident. | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | Took the trail N of the line, which, considering some of the slow times, must have been a good idea. | ||||||
