Too motivated. Green go Green? Yes. The fastest route is always through the green. Did not find boundaries as easily as I thought so I spent 3 minutes running west then back east until I saw the control.

Did not follow plan
Did not check features en route

ran the trail too far north; was hoping to just barely get to the open yellow "U-like" patch, but ran too far north and had to run back south. as a result, tired and bad route.

tried to go straight south to trail, drifted west and hit wrong trail so had to "bounce" and get to the right trail

stop at the food point and grab some fig newtons to chew on while walking and compassing north to the stream I needed to hook up with. Worked well because I was strolling along and found the stream I wanted.

good route choice, terrible reading skills. I found my attack at the stream re-entrant and simply could not find the feature the control was on so I walked a circle until I stumbled upon it.

Was totally unprepared to do some navigation, so I just took the long, safe route (minus the few corners I cut which didnt save much time) My route was slow, but I didnt make navigational errors. time lost due to forfeiting best route was about 3-4 minutes

Motivation increases; body starts to get back into a "rythm"

Green Go Green. Didnt see the trail on my map to the east/northeast, so I cut right across the green. I legitimately was at some points walking above the groundon on top of vegetation that I rangered through. I knew that I was committed, and at one point I almost threw myself into the pile to "crowd-surf" my way out.

Made critical error by shooting a southeast asmuth, when it should have been a southsoutheast asmuth, which tangled me up in the pines and then had to head back west to get to the point.

Tried to run the trail then make a right angle and head directly east across the 3 open rough feilds, since that was easy and relatively easy in my mind, but vegetation had other plans for me. Hit the first green patch and was forced south after untangling myself. Continued east and hit my attackpoint of the stream re-entrant.

I knew that straightline would be shortest, but i was fed up with the undergrowth and clutter in the woods (doesnt sound like me, huh?) so I shot northwest to hit the trail to do some running and walking back up the hill.
