| 1. | +00:10 | Ross starting 30s behind me so I joked that I'd see him halfway to #1 - guess what, he passed me halfway to #1! Clean navigation - straight on the line but a little slow into the control due to rocky ground | |||||
| 2. | +01:20 | boom... paying attention to picking a clean route out of the rocky crap and must have drifted R. Intended to pick up a trail headed NE but picked up the one FURTHER NE, realized when I had a hill instead of a marsh to my left, but decided to run the trail around at that point. Damn... | |||||
| 3. | Knew where #3 was already so I punched #2 and flew at max capacity back to #3 and then out. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:10 | clean, but was looking at contours, not the rock in the middle of the circle, momentary hesitation in the circle | |||||
| 5. | +00:10 | again, navigating on contours, up and over hill, then pausing to read description before heading to the rock | |||||
| 6. | +00:10 | clean and straight, a little slow in the rocky section | |||||
| 7. | climbing the hill straight, checking walls, right in.. | ||||||
| 8. | compass and contours, didn't want to slow down to read trail junctions so just ignored them | ||||||
| 9. | same plan | ||||||
| 10. | up hill on bearing, steering R of hilltop, pushing as hard as I could | ||||||
| 11. | straight, crossed trail/wall junction, but wasn't really looking specifically for it, right in - good flow going now and starting to pick up traffic | ||||||
| 12. | train to the building | ||||||
| 13. | trail to the poison ivy patch | ||||||
| F. | haul up the field as best I could. A very good run except for going to #3 before #2.... It looks like after my loss at #2, I only dropped a minute to John F over the remainder of the course - so my running speed seems good (for a old guy) if my navigation clicks... |
