1. 1226m 18:25 33 +8:11 80% 58.9 15:01   1226m 18:25 33 +8:11 80% 15:01 Didn't know it at the time, but I followed same route as everyone else: NW across spur, down to river running N, look for large open earthbank and reentrant, cross river at flooded crossing point, and up opposing spur, to skirt S-trending reentrants all the way to #1. Don't know why PG, Soupbone and others blew this leg.
2. 742m 13:03 30 +5:59 85% 55.8 17:35   1968m 31:28 31 +13:09 72% 15:59 S/H headed S instead of W to trail as I did. W trail turned out to be flooded and rutted from heavy horse use: difficult footing. Nevertheless others took 16-17 minutes on this leg.
3. 400m 8:29 35 +4:52 135% 44.7 21:12   2368m 39:57 30 +16:10 68% 16:52 Worked my way E on spur, to break through green to #3 in reentrant in sunny open; nice views as I left control
4. 1256m 25:50 47 +14:12 122% 47.4 5:00 20:34   3624m 1:05:47 41 +29:37 82% 18:09 Lazy route choices cost many minutes; s/h run more directly along purple line from #3 instead of my route S to trail, then trail run/walk all the way to reentrant system containing #4.
5. 363m 5:17 46 +2:55 123% 50.8 14:33   3987m 1:11:04 41 +32:02 82% 17:49 Easy compass to big reentrant system.
6. 215m 4:00 48 +2:18 135% 45.0 18:36   4202m 1:15:04 42 +33:56 82% 17:51 Another easy compass leg
7. 152m 2:09 51 +1:16 143% 45.0 14:08   4354m 1:17:13 42 +35:05 83% 17:44 Run down to cliff. Mike there dispensing refreshments - one of the all-time best water controls.
8. 395m 6:08 47 +3:14 111% 49.0 15:31   4749m 1:23:21 43 +38:19 85% 17:33 Hesitant plunge back into green from second loop in trail. Saw intermittant trail, and tried to find it on way out.
9. 323m 15:21 56 +12:32 445% 18.8 10:00 9:15 47:31   5072m 1:38:42 44 +50:51 106% 19:27 Biggest error: wandered off the map after I became confused in first reentrant system - stream was flowing E, instead of running off southern cliff as I expected.
10. 1985m 36:44 42 +18:54 106% 50.3 6:00 18:30   7057m 2:15:26 44 +1:09:45 106% 19:11 Demoralized. Blindly followed trail up unnecessary contours instead of staying low as PG did here. But after passing #2 my route was ok.
11. 623m 11:59 42 +5:49 94% 52.4 3:00 19:14   7680m 2:27:25 44 +1:15:34 105% 19:11 Again, too much wandering; s/h walked NE from #10 directly on purple line.
12. 134m 1:00 50 +35 140% 46.1 7:27   7814m 2:28:25 44 +1:15:54 105% 18:59 A beaten man: in to final punch in center of circle of flags. A memorable run and day on Green for first time in ~4 years?
