It was, but not after a brief look at the possibility of cutting the corner through the woods. And it was such a delight seeing the feature before the flag.

My split was 1:01, with 21 seconds to get from maps to the start.

I think the first control was indeed rather easy. You can't lose much time missing it as long as you read the cluesheet accurately so that you look in the right part of the knoll. Since it is the first control it pays to spike it, and I did. I took partly trail and partly woods to get there. I was pleased at the openess of the light green and decided that I could run through a lot of that on the rest of the course. It was pretty fast running and since the trails were a bit muddy in spots, the light green and white woods looked even more relatively attractive.

Did anyone actually cut across? I didn't even consider it a possibility. My split was 1:12.

I was a bit surprised anyone cut through the woods. I doesn't really seem like it save much time. But, I guess a few seconds here and there will add up.

I ran on the trails, enjoying the mud. Perhaps it would have been faster to have run straight through the woods, but knowing I was in Kansas, I felt not the temptation.
