Brown. What a fiasco! Confused at the start, thinking I was looking for a spur rather than a cliff because we went and punched at the start and so the next control was 2 except it really was 1 as you would expect if you thought about it. In any case, I ran straight at it, which took me into some green and down a cliff. Probably should have just run down the road, I think that would have been fastest.
Then going to 6 I wrapped around the cliff spur and turned R instead of L because I was sloppy on figuring out my position as I came around the turn.
Then I went straight coming out of 7 and got into mt laurel and marsh and turned 90 going up onto the wrong pile of rocks and cliffs. That was quite a wander until I bailed and hit a trail, eventually pinning down my position.
So a good 35-40 minutes wasted, admittedly some because I had bare legs and they were getting ripped up. Kind of distracting.
Mix of good legs, 4th - 5th fastest and then some way in the back. A few lessons learned.
