1. | Had a lot of energy. Went straight through the marsh and spiked it. | ||||||
2. | +01:00 | Right over the limestone after the trail, but then drifted left. Corrected pretty quickly. | |||||
3. | +23:00 | Lost contact on the way and landed at a boulder 200 meters due north of the control. Never occurred to me I could be that far away, so my attempts to relocate were in vain until I hit some distinctive rock 120 meters southeast of the control. But I messed up the attack from there, didn't find it, and headed back to the north. Eventually I relocated on the trail 350 m. north. Ugly, mindless orienteering. | |||||
4. | With the race blown, I settled down and spiked the next four controls. | ||||||
5. | Instead of taking the trail, which messed some people up, I went straight through the marsh, attacking from the boulder. | ||||||
6. | |||||||
7. | Bounced off a bit of trail, attacking from the bend. | ||||||
8. | +01:00 | Plan was to follow the fence to the trail, but I never saw the fence, and was hesitating a lot, and changing bearing, until I came to the clearing just right of line. Then the trail to the junction and in. | |||||
9. | Left of line to the clearing. Then saw it from a ways away. | ||||||
