Nice Weather, wide open Colorado without to much climb. I only wish I was in shape to take advantage of it. They didn't tell us the scale of the map and I just assumed it would be 1:15,000. It wasn't. Fortunately I realized this on my way to first control. Unfortunatly, I was using my 1:15,000 compass scale so had a tough time measuring distances.
I screwed up an early control because I overshot it.
I lost 5 minutes on a badly mapped area. Control was hung in cleft between some rocks. The map was misleading on how it would look. I spent 5 minutes circling the rocks looking for the control.
In general, I just had no energy and had to walk in areas that I should have to (altitude). I was also not in any hurry has 11K is to far for me in my current shape.
