Bad route choice Bad map reading +00:30 | Misread the map and ran to the first green blob instead. Then slowed by running through the long grass. | |||||
| 3. |
Bad route choice +00:30 | Took a bad line and had to fight through some deadfalls and junk. | |||||
| 4. | Got a bit lucky as I saw someone coming out of the green after punching, so I just went in the same way and got to the control easily. | ||||||
| 5. |
Did not plan ahead Ran too fast Read map too late +00:10 | Didn't plan ahead enough and then read the map too late as I overran the bag along the top of the retaining wall. | |||||
| 6. | Need to be more mindful of the OB areas. | ||||||
| 7. |
Ran too fast Bad map reading | Pretty much straight. | |||||
| 8. | +00:50 | Biggest mistake on the course. Tried to run too fast. Got disoriented after punching and went S instead of W. Didn't realize what I'd done until after 50m or so of running. | |||||
| 9. |
Did not read control description Hesitated +00:05 | Hesitated a bit around the circle because I didn't read the control description fully. | |||||

| 11. | Went back around N side of building. | ||||||
| 12. | +00:03 | Pretty much straight. | |||||
| 13. | Straight. | ||||||
| 14. |
Bad route choice Did not follow plan +00:03 | Had initially planned to go around the pond on the E side, but as I was punching 13, I thought I'd let my momentum carry me around the W side of pond instead. The distance looked about 50/50 at the time. After rounding the pond, I hugged the S side of building and around to 14. | |||||
| 15. |
Bad route choice Bad map reading Not thinking clearly Hesitated Unused to map +00:07 | Apparently going straight N and back around the breezeway is best. I took the stairs just S of building instead. Made 2 micro mistakes here. First was going diagonally across courtyard, not realizing I had to zig-zag around the wall to get to the stairs. Then hesitated at the stairs just north of circle because I couldn't comprehend clearly from the map and description where the bag is located. | |||||
| 16. | Went through breezeway, then diagonally across quadrangle to SE opening, then straight to and around the pond from the S. | ||||||
| 17. | Just a foot race. | ||||||
| F. | Another foot race. |
