2. | Back to the camp site, down the trail, across the bridge, and up to the control. | ||||||
3. |
Did not follow plan Hesitated +00:10 | My first mistake: I couldn't decide whether to go S with open-trail-open or to back the way I came (since that was familar), but vacillated too much and went mostly straiight. daedalus took the route across the bridge and beat me by over 30 s. | |||||

Bad route choice | I wanted to give myself 20s lost because of bad route choice (I went acrros the fence and by the parking), but I was only 10s off the leader, so maybe something slowed down the runners who took the obviously better (on paper) L route. | |||||
5. | I don't know why I was so far off the leaders. Maybe I didn't enter the control circle at the right place and had some fight? | ||||||
6. |
Read map too late Did not read control description +00:10 | I think I cut across to early near the end, maybe had a little bit of fight. | |||||
7. |
Bad route choice Bad map reading Did not read control description | Should have gone all the way around, instead of cutting up over that last spur. | |||||

No attack point Read map too late Did not like map Bad map reading Hesitated +00:15 | Hesitated big time. Had trouble figuring out the map north of the path. Was the bottom of the canal really open? | |||||
9. | I don't think I did anything wrong here, even though I was once again 30s off the leaders. | ||||||
10. | Same here: no trouble with the navigation... I aimed straight for the two houses together...maybe I just need more practice running through ground clutter. | ||||||

Tired | Probably too slow on the uphill | |||||
13. | I jumped from 11th to 8th place on this leg, so I probably chose the right route. It was the conservative R route around the last spur. | ||||||

No attack point Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Underrated difficulty Bad map reading Tired Not thinking clearly Lacked concentration +00:55 | I wasn't mentally prepared for the fence crossing; I should have gone over the top, but instead tried to go through 2 strands of barbed wire and got pinned at about 6 places. | |||||

Lacked concentration Lacked confidence +00:05 | I could have been more aggressive when exiting 14. | |||||

Bad route choice Bad map reading Tired Not thinking clearly Disturbed by others +00:15 | Here is where fatigue started to cloud my judgement. I took the path around R instead of the obvious striaight. There are two reasons: 1. there was a car in the parking lot and, irrationally, I was afraid they were going to stop me for directions, 2. when I am tired, I tend to delay climb until the end of the leg. | |||||
