Oof, the first 5 controls of this was rough.
Control 1, thought i saw a small cliff that would be the control, but it wasnt. I then didnt know which way to look on the creek. Chose the wrong way and finally got it. I saw the north rootstock and thought it was the one close to 1. Dumb.
2 was in the wrong place, but didnt put the information together until after the finish. I was expecting to cross a big spur before seeing 2, but i saw the flag on the way and just punched it thinking i miss counted spurs. The bend in my route close to 2 is where it actually was.
Not realizing 2 was in the wrong spot messed me up for 3. Compass and features looked close enough until i got to the top of the hill. spent some time relocating and finally found the right reentrant to go down.
Not having the greatest confidence after bombing 1 and 3, i bailed to the trail to 4. when i got to the cliffs there was no control. this one was a more obvious miss placed control. wondered around for a while and found it on the edge of the circle north east of where it should have been.
on five, i knew i was too far left but didnt correct enough, and went up one reentrant too far to the left. i then saw the trail and corrected. 7 and 8 were tricky, but the rest of the course went well. really tried to pick up my running pace after 10.
