5. | 490m | 3:58 | 1 | -5 | -2% | 101.4 | 8:05 | 2830m | 23:40 | 1 | -15 | -1% | 8:21 | Climbed up the uncrossable cliff. I slipped a bit on some wet rock. That should have been my first warning that I wasn't wearing my spiked shoes. I'd meant to wear them, knowing that the rain would come. But my spiked shoes look just like my non-spiked shoes (except from the bottom, of course) and I put on the wrong shoes without thinking. | ||||||||||||||||||||

7. | 560m | 4:46 | 3 | +29 | 11% | 94.6 | 8:30 | 4090m | 35:06 | 3 | +17 | 1% | 8:34 | I fell on my shoulder (same shoulder I hurt a couple of weeks ago) near the control. The pack went by me (apparently thinking I'd taken a dive to force them to take the lead). I got back on my feet, ran about ten steps and took another fall. | ||||||||||||||||||||
8. | 500m | 4:30 | 1 | -1:40 | -27% | 129.8 | 9:00 | 4590m | 39:36 | 1 | -7:58 | -17% | 8:37 | Stayed on the trail longer than I should have. I was looking for a bit nicer forest before I left the trail. I should have just plunged in to the thick stuff. I saw Tom to my left. But it wasn't Tom, it was Lisa in her "Team Puerto Rico" O' suit. | ||||||||||||||||||||
9. | 500m | 4:36 | 1 | -5 | -2% | 110.9 | 9:12 | 5090m | 44:12 | 1 | -20 | -1% | 8:41 | I didn't see the route to the right until I'd started to the left. I stopped and thought about turning back, then decided I'd come far enough that it wasn't worth going back (plus the trail near the end of the right route looked sketchy). | ||||||||||||||||||||
10. | 520m | 3:58 | 2 | +8 | 3% | 105.9 | 7:37 | 5610m | 48:10 | 2 | +11:08 | 30% | 8:35 | I tried to pick it up a bit with the hope of dropping Tom and Aaron. | ||||||||||||||||||||
11. | 320m | 2:50 | 1 | -4 | -2% | 104.3 | 8:51 | 5930m | 51:00 | 2 | +11:04 | 28% | 8:36 | The reentrant wasn't quite what I expected. | ||||||||||||||||||||
12. | 370m | 8:34 | 5 | +3:59 | 87% | 57.7 | 3:39 | 23:09 | 6300m | 59:34 | 2 | +15:03 | 34% | 9:27 | Wandered out of 11 and planned to go up the hill. But the woods looked crappy so I headed up the road toward the entrance to the camp. I should have just gone straight. My legs felt tired going up the hill. Mary and Gene were at 12, but had just arrived and didn't know who'd already been through. I think this is when it started to rain. | |||||||||||||||||||
13. | 420m | 5:47 | 5 | +2:21 | 68% | 71.6 | 1:40 | 13:46 | 6720m | 1:05:21 | 3 | +17:24 | 36% | 9:43 | ||||||||||||||||||||
14. | 650m | 3:48 | 1 | -1:21 | -26% | 132.6 | 5:50 | 7370m | 1:09:09 | 3 | +15:02 | 28% | 9:22 | I left 13 a bit quick. Once again I was trying to drop Aaron and Tom. I shouldn't bother trying to run away from people who run faster than me. Anyway, I drifted a bit off the line I planned. It didn't cost more than a few seconds, but it was wasted energy. I walked a bit of the downhill to the control and some of the thick stuff about 100 meters before the control. As far as I could tell I was alone at 14. I figued Aaron and Tom must have skipped. | ||||||||||||||||||||
15. | 260m | 4:36 | 1 | -4 | -1% | 102.1 | 17:41 | 7630m | 1:13:45 | 2 | +12:42 | 21% | 9:39 | I walked up the hill. 15 looked tricky but the contours fit and I came right to it. The flag was a bit tucked in to a cedar, so I might have been a bit lucky to spot it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
16. | 570m | 4:34 | 2 | +13 | 5% | 107.8 | 8:00 | 8200m | 1:18:19 | 3 | +12:55 | 20% | 9:33 | On the trail to 16 I took a look at the rest of the course trying to decide on skips. | ||||||||||||||||||||
17. | 660m | 3:28 | 1 | -27 | -11% | 122.1 | 5:15 | 8860m | 1:21:47 | 3 | +12:28 | 18% | 9:13 | Leaving 16 I saw Tom coming to it. After a clunk of Gookinaid at the water stop I saw Platt on his way to 20. He looked strong. | ||||||||||||||||||||
18. | 310m | 4:20 | 2 | +1:32 | 55% | 147.8 | 13:58 | 9170m | 1:26:07 | 2 | +14:00 | 19% | 9:23 | I never found the indistinct trail to 18. Maybe I was on it? I skidded (wishing I had my spikes) on some rocks on the downhill. I walked up to the flag. My legs felt tired. | ||||||||||||||||||||
19. | 450m | ? | -- | -- | -- | 0.0 | -- | -- | 9620m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | Walked a bit out of 18. I was wearing glasses (over contacts) and was wondering if it was raining enough that I'd be better off without the glasses. I decided it was still ok. | |||||||||||||||||||

21. | 870m | 6:26 | 1 | -1 | 0% | 100.7 | 7:23 | 11340m | 1:40:04 | 3 | +10:42 | 12% | 8:49 | Running toward the construction area I heard dogs barking. I spotted them -- two, not square-headed. One of them followed me the rest of the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||
22. | 430m | ? | -- | -- | -- | 0.0 | -- | -- | 11770m | ? | -- | -- | -- | -- | Skip | |||||||||||||||||||

25. | 90m | 24 | 1 | 0% | 104.2 | 4:26 | 12680m | 1:42:59 | 2 | +1:22 | 1% | 8:07 | I didn't see anyone behind me (but I heard the dog's footsteps). I finished feeling tired, but not dead. Buckley was standing at the finish and I'd have like to have beaten him. At least Dave Frie was still behind me. |
