| 1. | 2470m | 26:33 | 5 | +3:17 | 14% | 90.0 | 1:37 | 10:44 | 2470m | 26:33 | 5 | +3:17 | 14% | 10:44 | I wasn't 100% due to a muscle strain but figured I could get thru the race if I took it easy. One problem I have with this map is I can't see the smaller trails. I spent alot of time before the race studying it just to know where they are, but it didn't help. I never saw the trail running options to 1. I was with the lead pack going basically straight, hitting the trail to the west of the green/yellow marsh with the three islands. They kept going east on the trail -- I decided I wasn't going to be able to run fast enough to make any money trail running anyway so I cut uphill towards Hogancamp Mtn.
AY was with me, EB and some others were behind, and a guy I didn't know in shiny pants was up ahead. I asked AY if he thought this was a good choice -- he said 'that guy's doing it' -- I asked if he knew who that was and whether he was any good -- he says he's wearing shiny pants, he must be good. EB says he's following me and says -- I hope you know where you're going -- or something to that effect. My plan was to read rock to the long drainage splitting Hogencamp, then read marsh and bare rock into the big reentrant, but I think I was too far east and misread the rock early. I ask AY if he knows where we are -- he points and says -- I think that's that marsh. I don't see a marsh in the terrain or on my map. At that point EB is still back there; I decide to press on straight figuring I'll relocate on the fly. They all bail somewhere leaving me all alone. Great, less than a K into the race and no pack already. I press on straight, god its crappy on top of the mountain. Eventually I see the guy in shiny pants ahead but he disappears. Finally I pick up some hill features and the marsh with the small island to the right of the line about 700m away from the bag. 200m later or so, much to my surprise I see a pack of AY, EB, NA and perhaps others coming in from my left. Well, this wasn't too bad after all, I think. Across the big reentrant into the bag I'm with AY; we're calling out the features as we pick them off and spike the bag. JF is at the control and I think he says we're 30 seconds behind the lead pack. That seemed hard to believe. It looks like EB booms low as we seem him a couple of lines down as we leave. |

Trail around and in, see EB coming from the other side, who apparently went left. Cadet with us at this point. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | 150m | 1:25 | 2 | +1 | 1% | 102.0 | 9:26 | 3090m | 33:31 | 5 | +2:48 | 9% | 10:50 | |||||||||||||||||||||

| 5. | 1100m | 10:35 | 2 | +36 | 6% | 99.9 | 9:37 | 4440m | 45:54 | 2 | +1:18 | 3% | 10:20 | Trail south then east below the marsh. Behind JJ, JS, and possibly others; with AY. Not sure where EB is. AY and someone else hesitate at the trail junction just to the west of the yellow marsh tip; I run SE seeing VG up ahead. As the trail bends east, VG takes the trail to the south and I continue to the east; look back and see nary a soul.
Alone again, I cut up the hill as the trail drops, and pick up the trail fragment halfway up the side of the hill. Lady luck smiles as this trail seems to be going farther than mapped and leading right to the control. I read my way into the bag and hear EB behind me who says "nice job" and says "lets catch the lead pack" |

We read both marshes and still hit the rock feature to the north of the bag, only a 30 sec boom, but VG catches us here, as do AY, FF, a cadet, and someone I don't know. | |||||||||||||||||||

We get to that hill SE of Surebridge mine, I say there's no way I'm climbing it, we sidehill around, EB and I get begind the others. |

EB is no longer with the pack. We catch up to GB and others as we approach. No sign of VG. We boom high but eventually find it. | |||||||||||||||||||

Pass GB on the way to the second start triangle. All alone, then see EB, AY and a cadet climbing the hill. Handrail up the stream. Punch about 30 sec behind those guys. |

EB ahead and I say "its behind that thing" but I get there first. AY says nice one. Nice to earn my keep. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 190m | 2:07 | 2 | +12 | 10% | 99.2 | 11:08 | 10450m | 1:42:55 | 1 | -7 | 0% | 9:50 | In the lead I actually push it a little. I hate being at the tail end of the pack. EB goes a little left, rest of pack follows me straight. So much for my burst -- get there the same time or perhaps a second or two behind eddie. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 320m | 3:33 | 2 | +4 | 2% | 102.7 | 15 | 11:05 | 10770m | 1:46:28 | 1 | -3 | 0% | 9:53 | I say -- eddie, you're high -- but I was wrong and low and boom along with FF. Only 15 sec, FF has the speed to catch up, I don't. | |||||||||||||||||||

Give up on EB and FF. My leg is starting to kill, and I debate whether to drop out after the second loop. Think I'm ahead of AY at this point, not sure. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 23. | 880m | 10:27 | 3 | +48 | 8% | 95.5 | 30 | 11:52 | 13170m | 2:10:30 | 1 | -31 | 0% | 9:54 | Aim to swing right of the big swamp to the south, basically all alone. Hear tramping and branches cracking and voices and figure its eddie and the going isn't too smooth that way. Swing left instead over the hills. I'm a good 30 seconds in the lead but boom the control. EB and the others come in from behind, and AY says -- its this way. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 24. | 930m | 14:21 | 2 | +8 | 1% | 99.9 | 10 | 15:25 | 14100m | 2:24:51 | 1 | -1:52 | -1% | 10:16 | We lose the cadet somewhere along here. EB, AY and myself go over bald rocks while FF takes a route more to the right. Pass thru #38 then by the swamp. FF is ahead 150m, his route was evidently faster.
I take a bearing off the finger of green about 200m out; EB ahead but drifting left going after FF who seems left as well. AY with me we come over the hill and don't see it. Ay says its gotta be hear, I panic and wonder if EB and FF where right after all. I start to head out, and see it at my feet, was standing right on top of it the whole time. |

Take another gu. Eddie and FF leave me on the trail run back to the exchange. Eddie leaves the exchange and says -- c'mon, we're leaving. I take less time at the exchange and basically leave with him and FF. AY not with us. | ||||||||||||||||||||

EB and FF are pretty much gone for good as we run the trail past the three island swamp. They disappear up the hill -- last I see of them is them circling back to punch as apparently they boomed. Alone. | |||||||||||||||||||

I figure a slow, but clean race from here on out, and my place is fixed. Between the swamps. Hear voices as I approach the control, but see no one. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Bounce off the cliff to the northwest and stumble into a bag. Not sure what the feature was, or what is circled. Hear footsteps approaching. | ||||||||||||||||||

Behind EB, FF, BG, SZ and WH. Not too bad. Realise I'm going slower than I want to, but you play the cards you'r dealt. HH02 I bonked on the last loop because I skimped on water and nourishment. Ended up making a huge error that cost me a place. Decided not to make that mistake this time, but I was also running much slower this time. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 41. | 510m | 8:56 | 6 | +2:20 | 35% | 77.5 | 1:42 | 17:30 | 22890m | 4:08:19 | 1 | -23:21 | -9% | 10:50 | Take one look at that leg and say trail. Trail is sort of hard to follow. I see the building and think about cutting some distance, but decide to play it safe. Second visit to this bag. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 42. | 410m | 4:58 | 3 | +20 | 7% | 96.1 | 12:06 | 23300m | 4:13:17 | 2 | +9:20 | 4% | 10:52 | Take a long time drinking and Alan catches up. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Picking up the blazes more than anything else, while trying to maintain rough contour contact. Get confused at the trail junction -- can't find the trail I want and other is going wrong direction. Decide to go cross country but Alan says the trail is over here. Attack off the clearing. Never see the full contour hill right before the bag. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 45. | 960m | 7:09 | 7 | +2:00 | 39% | 78.6 | 1:17 | 7:26 | 25330m | 4:37:34 | 2 | +14:26 | 5% | 10:57 | Alan jokes-- how about I take the road and you contour along, and we'll see who gets there first. The road run is boring, but welcome, I guess. I'd rather the race just ended here, though. This is probably my slowest in-race road run ever. I figure AY and I will finish together but he stops to work on his leg and says -- see you at the finish. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 46. | 760m | 4:46 | 8 | +1:25 | 42% | 75.2 | 1:01 | 6:16 | 26090m | 4:42:20 | 2 | +15:37 | 6% | 10:49 | I see WH on this road run. Asked if he won (he did). Ask his time (4:01, 41 minutes ahead of me). | |||||||||||||||||||
| 47. | 40m | 13 | 9 | +7 | 117% | 51.3 | 6 | 5:25 | 26130m | 4:42:33 | 3 | +40:55 | 17% | 10:48 | 7th place. Behind the guy in the shiny pants -- sorry I never caught your name. The best news is I think I took it easy enough not to aggravate my leg too much more.
Thanks to Alexei, Boris, and all the organizers and helpers. Hopefully we can do it again next year. |
