| 2. | 200m | 1:45 | 3 | +19 | 22% | 89.5 | 8:45 | 530m | 3:56 | 1 | -56 | -19% | 7:25 | almost straight on the line | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 4. | 200m | 2:05 | 3 | +26 | 26% | 86.4 | 20 | 10:25 | 1110m | 9:05 | 1 | -1:33 | -15% | 8:10 | had some trouble reading contour detail through the rock but mostly straight, below cliff looking for reentrant. A little slow trying to maintain map contact, but basically clean (time for a visit to the optometrist though) | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5. | 150m | 2:40 | 4 | +1:16 | 90% | 63.5 | 30 | 42 | 17:46 | 1260m | 11:45 | 1 | -17 | -2% | 9:19 | couldn't make out trails from walls from cliffs - seemed to be more walls than I was seeing on the map (even now) pushed ahead on rough compass looking for bigger reentrant- got there, hesitated when I didn't see appropriate rock, then turned right and headed up to get it | ||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | 290m | 3:23 | 3 | +1:12 | 55% | 77.2 | 11:40 | 1550m | 15:08 | 3 | +52 | 6% | 9:45 | followed trail to L, off the bend, then stayed L of stony ground and up reentrant | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 480m | 5:39 | 4 | +1:39 | 41% | 78.4 | 31 | 11:46 | 2030m | 20:47 | 3 | +2:29 | 14% | 10:14 | left of line, crossing below dam. Slow going in rocky, marshy ground but navigationally ok. Past small building, then attacked from wall junction | |||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 570m | 5:17 | 3 | +1:48 | 52% | 84.2 | 20 | 9:16 | 2600m | 26:04 | 3 | +4:17 | 20% | 10:01 | right of line, picking the best runnability in the green, came out right where I wanted to at the parking area, then trails all the way up - hesitated slightly before the Y in trail as I never saw the stonewall I was looking for | |||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 540m | 5:50 | 3 | +1:37 | 38% | 87.0 | 45 | 10:48 | 3140m | 31:54 | 3 | +5:54 | 23% | 10:09 | thrashed about in the green headed south, picked up small trail but it didn't jive with what was mapped, seemed to be a LOT more twists etc than I saw on map. So I said the hell with it and just ran S to large trail, crossed marsh and down small trail a ways then across the white with no problems | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 440m | 4:33 | 3 | +1:06 | 32% | 83.9 | 30 | 10:20 | 3580m | 36:27 | 3 | +7:00 | 24% | 10:10 | out to trail, trails along until obvious lollipop in trail, up and over hill and down into reentrant - got pulled R by a large unmapped boulder on N edge of circle, wound up going up the other side of the reentrant a ways, then circled back to boulder in a bit of low visibility pine (mapped white) | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 350m | 4:53 | 4 | +1:41 | 53% | 78.5 | 35 | 13:57 | 3930m | 41:20 | 3 | +8:41 | 27% | 10:31 | not sure what the swamp was going to look like, but no black line so zipped between small marshes and plunged in - no standing water but a lot of spongy sphagnum, once across the visibility and runnability were good, but I was concerned about missing a low hung control in a pit so took it slow trying to stay high - contours didn't feel quite right but eventually go there and found flag | |||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 400m | 4:17 | 2 | +32 | 14% | 104.4 | 15 | 10:42 | 4330m | 45:37 | 3 | +7:10 | 19% | 10:32 | ran the ridgeline eventually picking up trail across swamp - very spongy sphagnum again, but reasonably runnable, turning L when woods looked firm again but drifted slightly L and climbed hill just to N but visibility was good enough to realize that wasn't mine so I turned R before hitting the top and flag visible on the next hilltop over | |||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 200m | 2:47 | 4 | +1:14 | 80% | 67.3 | 30 | 36 | 13:55 | 4530m | 48:24 | 3 | +8:24 | 21% | 10:41 | straight, right past cliff and boulder and right down in about 10m R of control - saw a depression, but no flag so went R instead thinking I saw a depression that direction, realized I was heading too low and came back to see the flag right where I had looked for it in the first place. arghhh | ||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 550m | 4:59 | 4 | +1:21 | 37% | 81.4 | 10 | 9:03 | 5080m | 53:23 | 3 | +9:45 | 22% | 10:30 | NW to large trail, popped out at a right angle and took about 4-5 steps S before realizing I was doing a 180 and turned around promptly (brain fart), brisk run up trail cutting in just past cliffs and right to it. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | 470m | 7:28 | 2 | +4:19 | 137% | 84.2 | 3:30 | 15:53 | 5550m | 1:00:51 | 3 | +14:04 | 30% | 10:57 | I don't think the area W of marsh was field checked. From the moment I left the trail below the marsh, things didn't feel right - the marsh extends a LOT further west than mapped - though it was shoesucking mud rather than standing water with all the dry weather, I would think in normal conditions it would be open water, marsh extend pretty much all the way to the black out of bounds area where I turned N. A bunch of extra stone walls in there including one I feel pretty certain follows the green park boundary symbol. Also some extra intersecting wall segments as well. Floundered for a bit, then decided to head for the E/W wall and find the distinct north wall junction beyond the control and then lo and behold, there it was behind me. But there are also a few other unmapped boulder in there to complicate matters | |||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 280m | 2:08 | 3 | +30 | 31% | 90.1 | 7:37 | 5830m | 1:02:59 | 3 | +14:34 | 30% | 10:48 | miffed, I ran straight and hard for the wall junction and right in. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 600m | 3:28 | 2 | +24 | 13% | 96.2 | 5:46 | 6430m | 1:06:27 | 3 | +14:58 | 29% | 10:20 | down to cornfield, around field to R taking main trail all the way (it was about in here I noticed my right shoe was quite loose, but a quick look showed no flying laces and didn't take the time to stop) turned R into the woods when I saw the short fence to the L in the open, straight at it punching right behind Kristen who came in from L | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | 320m | 2:33 | 1 | -1 | -1% | 103.3 | 7:58 | 6750m | 1:09:00 | 3 | +14:42 | 27% | 10:13 | Having read ahead on the last leg, I knew this was going to be a decision of R or L around the marsh, but Kristen made the decision for me by going L and I followed suit, caught up with her just after entering the green woods but turned uphill at the first trail junction where she either paused or went just beyond so I got ahead of her here. Running as hard as I can on a loose shoe | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 19. | 270m | 1:42 | 2 | +11 | 12% | 97.4 | 6:17 | 7020m | 1:10:42 | 3 | +14:53 | 27% | 10:04 | along ridgeline, taking small trail R to road, then along road pausing momentarily for traffic, then up the hill with no hesitation or pausing, knowing that there were a couple fast people on my tail now | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 20. | 240m | 1:10 | 2 | +15 | 27% | 94.3 | 4:51 | 7260m | 1:11:52 | 3 | +15:08 | 27% | 9:53 | started to go across field, but then realized the trail around the corn field was firmer and faster and I wouldn't have to negotiate the hedgerow between (not mapped). A fine run (for me) with the only really big error being a map issue, which many others had as well, some losing much more time than I did. Oh yeah, the shoe - as I mentioned in #17, my shoe felt loose but I didn't stop to fix things, kind of kinked my toes to keep it tight (now have a blister on my R big toe, thank you very much). anyway, after finishing I went to retie the shoe and noted that most of the lace was missing entirely - had some lace left in the two lower holes, but everything else must have snagged and ripped right off - I guess its better than a face plant... | ||||||||||||||||||||
