WCOC A-Meet Day 2: Blue

tdgood

1. I had two West pointers starting with me. I decided to run at a good clip to the first control.
2. Bad map reading
Did not read control code
+12:00		Breathing hard already so was extra careful to make sure I was going correctly. Went over the followed the spur to far around and cross the stream at the wrong point. Couldn't tell the marshes from other wet spots. Ran up wrong hill to the wrong set of rocks. Marshes didn't match up. Stumbled across 17. Ran over to control but is wasn't mine. So I ran away, actually wandered away. How could I miss it? I wandered over to by number 3 stone wall. It took me right back to the control I had just left that wasn't mine. Decided to do a major bail and head back to number 1. Ran back to the trail marsh crossing 1/2 way back to number 1. it took me back to the same control I had just been at. ARRRGH. I had been looking for number 1 on my punch card but was at number 2. What an idiot. I lost at least 12 minutes and probably more.
3.
4. Slow but no problems.
5. Passed Tim Good
6. climbed up the trail junction and too the eastern trail. There wasn't a trail, just trail blazes on trees. Cut over to big trail and took it to by pond where I caught the other smalller trail. Followed contours around and approached from the west.

9.
10.
11. Slow moving to control
12.
13.
14. Leaving 13 see edie coming up.
15. Eddie passed me.
16. Last bunch of controls had the benefit of seeing edie running away from control area.
17.
18.
19. +00:15Didn't think the map was right. I took a careful bearing and ended up way left. Edie ahead of me ran over to an obvious control that wasn't in the right spot. He punched and ran on so it must have been mine.
