PBricker
| 1. | +01:30 | Trail for a bit, then up over the top of the knoll, but then I dropped off it too soon and missed the ride. Landed in the technical area east of the control. Corrected pretty quickly. | |||||
| 2. | Straight, just to the right of bridge, past the 3 boulders, and spike. | ||||||
| 3. | +12:00 | I thought I was attacking from the bend of the trail right on the line, but probably i was at the bend to the right. Suffice it to say, this was a disaster and I had to relocate twice before finding it. No excuse for losing more than a couple of minutes on a control with trails so close. | |||||
| 4. | +00:30 | Aimed for the bend in the big trail, but came in on the E-W side and ran a bit back towards the bend to be sure I had a solid attack point. Spiked the boulders, but I hadn't read the clue, so wasted 10 seconds standing at the big boulder before checking the smaller one. | |||||
| 5. | +00:20 | Down to the trail, to the clearing, then to the marsh, over the knoll, and missed just a bit to the left. | |||||
| 6. | +02:00 | Attacked from the little trail to the south: Big boulder, up the spur through thick veg, but missed it left and wandered a bit around the top. I couldn't read the map well enough to see which direction the reentant would be (and still can't, even with my glasses on). | |||||
| 7. | North, betwen the marshes, the attacked from the end of the L-shaped marsh and spiked it. | ||||||
| 8. | Just aimed off a bit left towards the pond, crossed the stream where the line corsses, and right to it. | ||||||
| 9. | Straight, some hesitation. | ||||||
| 10. | Spiked the water, then north up the trail to the clearing, then over the broad knoll and spiked it. | ||||||
| 11. | Straight, finding paths that weaved through the logged area. Spiked the water. Then across the power lines and right to it. | ||||||
| 12. | A bit indecisive, as I started going high, then dropped too much and had to climb back up and down to get to it. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:10 | Climbed up since I expected it to be beyond the green. But it was back down below. | |||||
| 14. | Left of the earth bank. | ||||||
| 15. | Straight through the marsh, which was a little mucky at the end, so I had to be careful where I stepped. | ||||||
| 16. | +00:20 | Hit the trail, saw the finish just to my right so I instinctively turned left. Oops. I had almost spiked it and now I was running away from it at full speed. Embarassing. | |||||
