1. Bad map reading
Hesitated
Unused to map
+00:45
The Scale and Countour Interval is not printed on the map. Didn't know what scale was. Getting used to map and wasn't paying attention. Saw control an ran to it but is wasn't mine. It was way short. Figured where I was and went to it. Tough to get down it. Should have stayed low at wrong control.
2. Underrated difficulty
Bad map reading
+05:00
Tough reading the map. My circle obscured some features. Went to wrong area and got confused. Ran around in every expanding circles. Found control 3 first. Ran back to where I had just been but kept going. It was farther from 3 then I expected.
3. Ran too fast
+00:15
Just ran where I had been but wasn't paying attention to direction. Had to stop and look at map.
4. Straight line.

6. Ran out to Road. Road to trail. Cut corner of trail.
7. Bad distance judgement
+02:00
Got off to the left. Hit bigger reentrant first. Not sure this was hung in the correct spot. Just kept running along the edge of hill until found it.
8. Did not like map
Bad distance judgement
Got off to the right this time but knew where I was. Not that it bothered me but I don't think the map is right in this area. the distance between reentrants is off.
9. Confused parallel features
+01:00
Took trail east to trail closest ot stream. Missed indistinct trail and ran down next trail thinking it was one I wanted. Overshot control and hit marsh area. Had to come back throug the green.
10. Trail across marsh, up to building and into woods. Never saw trail from buildings.
11. Straight, across road, along marsh area.
