Spent time pouring over Saturday's map. I got real comfortable with it and the style. This really helped out today. I realized the mapper shows deep gullies with contours only. I shaved 11 minutes off my Saturday time due to two fewer controls and much better understanding of the mapping. I need to make myself go to the model layout before the meet.

On #3 #142, did not see the saddle I had planned on crossing, so I went the long way around the second hill. Lost 2:39 here, this I think was the hardest control on Sunday. Control 6 #158 I was in a knot of four runners they all turned up towards the wrong hill top. I over rode the proper compass direction and followed. I hate running in groups. Control 11 lost track of where I was. Quickly found myself but still lost 1:12 since it forced me into a subpar route.

When I finished my first thought was that was pretty easy technically. Then I see I had 14:47 of lost time. I had two really bad fumbles at the end on control 12 #59 - Decided to go N rather than NE don't know why. On control 13 #77, I was really confused a re-entrant junction was in the control circle - the clue sheet said gully junction. Just could not get my head around what should have been easy. Lost 5:37 there.

Very pleased I made myself start slow until I knew where I was going. I actually thought #1 was the hardest control on this course.
