Note
Long course notes:
I kept repeating "no mistakes" in my head (and out loud) through most of this course. I needed it to keep me focused. I was physically tired, and could only walk at a slow pace. My concentration was pretty bad today, and I was constantly reacting instead of reading ahead. I had almost no confidence moving through the woods.
My biggest mistake was the execution on 3. I was with Lynn as we crossed the first stream, and after that I was distracted by her, and I lost track of where I was on the flat area with lots of rocks. Suddenly I had no idea where I was, so I stopped and tried to relocate. I could not. I found some obvious cliffs and boulders in the terrain, but could not find them on the map. I stood here for quite a while before I admitted that I had not yet crossed the stream and gone up several contour lines. So just get moving up the hill, for goodness sakes! Thought I knew where I came up the hill, hesitated a bit on the top, looked around and saw the clearing, and then headed right to the control.
Slow to 5, then started getting more and more tired and making more and more mistakes. Headed up a parallel reentrant at 10, and totally lost track of where I was on the way to 11. I should have known I was in trouble because I was cursing like a sailor as I stumbled my way through the woods, which is a sure sign that I've gone past tired. Ah well. Not my best day.
consistency: 15.7
time lost: 4.1
