Tried to cut straight through the woods to number one and this was a disaster took 20 mins to find the first control. Took 31 mins to find the first five controls so went to number 20 next, 13, 14, 15 which went well. After leaving 15 saw horses so went north on the trail thought I could just run around which added all kinds of distance so went to number 10, 19, 15. Since the first five went so bad tried it again so back to 1-5. Only a little bit better. After finding number one with Nadim turned my back to let him run ahead so I just would not follow waited until I no longer heard footsteps and waited a bit longer. No idea why today it was SO difficult. The control bags were just the minis so could not see them from long distances like I usually do. Went from 13 to 14 in 2:30 and 14 to 15 in 2:30.

Picked up first five controls this time went after number one by using the road and trail and found it in 4:30 versus 20 mins. Ended up much better this time, but after three tries it was probably time for me to get it right. Kept watch running putting the minis on my arm and running with them all. At least I moved better in the woods. Good practice set up by Jon Torrance.
