Leaving your house at 4am and driving for 6hrs certainly doesn't help your mental processes. But this still turned out alright.
From the routegadget, I can see where I was hesitant and not planning out routes properly. This cost me time on 5 and 12. I could have been much more efficient if I had taken the time to plan.

-5 (27s)
-12 (40s)
-14 (15s)
-15 (36s)
-18 (55s)
-19 (35s)
-22 (18s)
Total time: 3m46s
Cause:
The root cause of all of these errors was a failure to plan. This was in part because of the rocky terrain. I usually take the first 10 seconds after a control to jog and plan the next leg, but I struggled to do that here because of how rocky the ground was. It took me longer to plan than normal.
Solution:
- Continue to train map reading
- Recognize when I don't have plan and slow down or stop until I have one.
