From the cabin to the start. Thought I was cutting my start time close, leaving cabin at 11:22 for an 11:36 start. But my actual start was 11:14. There was a Green opening at 11:37 so it worked out ok. But perhaps all the rushing to get to the start affected my mental focus?

Challenging course in a beautiful park.
Not a good day for me. Wasn't focusing on fundamentals and made 2 big errors. See comments on splits. After the first big error I really didn't push that hard, but seemed to be moving well despite the veg. My 90 min target was very doable and would have put me pretty far up the list.
I thought the course was set very well but I did not like the 5 - 6 leg. Way too much green even on the best route. But that said, there weren't many good options for getting over to that side of the map.
