1. | Saw Mark at the control, which was kind of unexpected since I think he started way before me. | ||||||
2. | I seem to be the only person who didn't have trouble with this one. Cool! I thought the cliffs were pretty easy to read. Of course 3 other people converged on the control at the same time, so maybe that helped. | ||||||
3. | In Kim's train at this point. | ||||||
4. | Still in the Kim/Pia train. | ||||||
5. | Passed Pia but still following Kim. We took the trail, not the road. I think it was better. | ||||||
6. | Crossed over the road, not through the tunnel. Passed Kim here. | ||||||
7. | Went on the sidewalk most of the way, still a few seconds ahead of Kim. | ||||||
8. | Starting to feel tired. Katia was just ahead of us, but I took a more direct route than her and ended up at the control first. | ||||||
9. | I think this is where I really lost Kim, on the climb. | ||||||
10. | +00:10 | Got confused by the parallel-ish golf course feature. Probably stood confused for 10-15 seconds. | |||||
11. | Kind of dicked around in going over the hill. I Basically ran around the sand pits and then backtracked a little, but came out on the road exactly where I wanted to be. | ||||||
12. | Shredded my ankle on some briars. | ||||||
13. | +00:05 | A bit slow, and confused by something that looked like a trail going off to the left. | |||||
14. | More or less straight. | ||||||
F. | Recalled that the start/finish was lower down the field than indicated and decided it would probably be faster to go along the road, although if it had actually been higher up I probably would have gone through the woods. |
