The start was all screwed up. I should have had a few minutes to warm up but they called me up early. Then they skipped a callup line. I wasn't ready and shouldn't had started but I did. I forgot the map was 1:15,000. Add that to the fact that the map quality was very poor. I screwed up the first control. was very slow to the second. The third should have been a gimme. I was looking for a gully. all I saw was a ditch. It turns out that the definition of a gully on this map was a 0.75 m ditch. Contours didn't match, they were not lined up correctly, and features were also very off. I did ok after the first three by ignoring almost everything on the map.
