MNOC Minnegoat at William O' Brien
Sloppy start . Lots of thick stuff with low visibility and flags placed right in the thick stuff so an element of luck to see some controls . 6th place overall
#2 thought I could follow the lead group but it was very thick and flag hidden so wasted about 3 mins there
#5 got wide and on wrong hilltop lost 3 mins
#6 in a group in wrong reentrant lost about 90 sec
#15 got within 10 feet of control didn't see it so bailed and reattacked (~ 3 mins lost)
#17 went up wrong reentrant (parallel error 50 m away) corrected quickly but lost ~ 2 mins
GPS got bumped off and on a couple of times so dead straight lines are not accurate ... (legs 2 - 4 , and leaving 13)
