| 1. | +03:00 | Played pinball off the trails and didn't hit it until the third time. Some extra trails made relocating a bit tougher. | |||||
| 2. | Hit the trail south of the control and attacked up the spur from there. | ||||||
| 3. | Straight out to the trail, then around on the trail to the field south of the control and attacked off the bend of the little trail southeast of the control. | ||||||
| 4. | Straight back on the little trail to the field and attacked off the fence just before the rounded field corner. | ||||||
| 5. | Pretty much a straight compass shot to the trail rounding the top of the reentrant that the control was in. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:20 | Around the lake on the right, but didn't read the features in the circle well enough and floundered a round in the circle before I realized it was on top of the hill. | |||||
| 7. | +00:30 | Straight out to the road. Cut in just after the little parking lot on the right. Probably should have gone to the little trail right next to the line to 8, but didn't see it. Crossed that trail and hit the stone wall leading north into the control. | |||||
| 8. | +00:10 | Straight out to the trail junction just south of the line and followed the trail out to the road. Ran up the road to the little parking lot and followed the trail south to the control. Cut in a little early when I saw an unmapped boulder just off the trail and lost a few seconds in the few extra meters of green heading into the control. | |||||
| 9. | +00:40 | Straight south around the tip of the swamp to the little trail leading along the swamp. Crossed the swamps on the big trail and cut in on the little trail. Cut around the bottom of the swamp and angled too far to the right hitting the trail north of the control. Relocated immediately and hit the control right on. | |||||
| 10. | +00:15 | Straight east to the trail and ran it all the way to the big bend left. Cut straight across to the other trail but it took much longer to hit it then I expected. Perhaps I strayed a bit right between the two trails, but the map did not feel correct there. Anyway, ended up hitting the trail eventually and it was a straight shot in from there. | |||||
| 11. | +00:15 | Straight across the swamp and ended up crossing the extra tip of swamp sticking out just south of the line. Crossed the hill which directed me right in. Probably could have been faster cutting around that little tip of swamp, or at least aiming off better to miss it in the first place. | |||||
| 12. | +01:30 | Cut right back out the way I came in and followed the hillside down to the swamp edge too far left of the trail. Didn't realize my mistake until I got there and decided to just try to cut across the swamp without the trail anyway. Don't know if it would have been faster at that point to still cut out to the trail, but it was definitely a lot slower than simply hitting the trail head on. | |||||
| 13. | Stayed right and cut around the top of the green cutting in around the hill. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight north to the little trail. Cut across the the other trail just after the swamp acrossing. Attacked from the last cliff just south of the control. | ||||||
| 15. | Northeast to the trail and took the trail all the way around the swamp on the right. It was a straight shot in from there along the rock wall. | ||||||
| 16. | Straight north and across the trail just next to the rock wall. Up and over the hill and in. | ||||||
| 17. | Straight out to the field and around the bottom side to the trail. Took the trail all the way across the lakes and up to the control. Attacked off the edge of the field where it cut back to the right and across the other trail and in. | ||||||
| 18. | +00:10 | Straight across the swamp which was quite wet. Hit the trail too far north where it was making the big bend to the east. It took me a second to figure out exactly where I was on the trail. Should have realized that I need to cut to the top of the hill to hit the trail and not contour around it to the north. Could have saved some seconds by not veering so far north there. | |||||
| 19. | Straight west to the little trail and around to the road. Cut in off the road. | ||||||
| F. | Weee...... |
