| 1. | +00:45 | No warm up, since I work for the meet all morning. Go up on road, cut into the yellow, up the hill and right into an area with lots of fallen trees. Slow. Not good. | |||||
| 2. | +01:00 | To trail, N around yellow swamp, leave trail at wall intersection. I am almost on the line. Should have stayed lower and out of the rocks. | |||||
| 3. | +00:45 | To trail, around the swamp, cross the stream and into reentrant. Hm, puzzled no control. See it on top of the hill after some intuiting. | |||||
| 4. | +00:30 | Straight, on the line, up on trail, leave it too early, could have stayed longer or even go over the hill. then around N side of hill to control. | |||||
| 5. | Down to swamp. Fallen trees again, some hard work, then straight uphill, practically on the line. Now I think the trail on the ridge would have been faster, maybe? | ||||||
| 6. | Straight over to the trail, over the first hill, reentrant and over to control. I like this area, very fine and intricate. | ||||||
| 7. | Down, trail, follow spur to control. | ||||||
| 8. | Kind of a weird route, I go to trail, run down, cut around the south end of large swamp. I have been stuck in this ""light"" green which is not so light there, so I rather go around. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:30 | Along the hill, under yellow open cliffs, see cliff line N of control, almost overrun control, go back to it. | |||||
| 10. | Go up on the trail and over the hill, drop down to control. More climb, but easier running. | ||||||
| 11. | +01:00 | Drop to trail, stay on it until I see the yellow open, than I contours along the hill. I am somewhat low, drop to lower cliff, when I don't see the control on upper cliff. In turns out the control is on the uppermost cliff. More careful map reading would have brought me there right away. | |||||
| 12. | +00:20 | Go along hill, try to avoid the thorny bushes, have to cross them anyway. Follow road to small hill, I contours to control. | |||||
| 13. | See that I have two minutes left to be under sixty minutes. Don't believe I can make it, but I give it a shot. This means running fast. | ||||||
| F. | Route choice via wooden bridge or road. Decide for road, no brainer and good sprint ground. |
