| 1. | |||||||
| 2. | +10:00 | I confused an earlier reentrant with that for which I was aiming, and spent a few minutes along the former reentrant checking to ensure I hadn't missed the control. | |||||
| 3. | Behind Ross; I saw him leave 3, but no contact afterwards. | ||||||
| 4. | A bit slow crossing the reentrant to the trail. Followed the trail for about 100 meters. | ||||||
| 5. | Saw Eddie to my left, but stuck to my plan, picked up my speed a bit, and beat him to the control (by ~ 10 seconds). | ||||||
| 6. | +02:00 | Went around the cliffs to the east. Hesitant. | |||||
| 7. | +00:30 | Went too far south, slow to reapproach. | |||||
| 8. | One of my better legs. Ran to the trail junction, followed the NE trail for about 150 m, then broke out across the spur. | ||||||
| 9. | Poor decision for how to cross the reentrant; I contoured around a bit to save energy, but I should had charged directly. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:20 | Missed left. | |||||
| 11. | Slow charging up the hill, but accurate. | ||||||
| 12. | Climbed up the reentrant, then contoured right. A good leg. | ||||||
| 13. | I debated a bit, then decided to run to the road to the north. I figured I was making an overly conservative route until Will Hawkins chugged past me. I lost him just before 13. | ||||||
| 14. | Clean, though slow. | ||||||
| 15. | +10:00 | I thought I had gone too far down the reentrant. I spent a while searching the control (I was very confused that I hadn't found it) until I realized my error. | |||||
| 16. | Over the top. | ||||||
| 17. | Clean, but cautious - I had been lost in this area a year ago on Brown. | ||||||
| 18. | Up the straem, then past the hill to the left and up through the cliffs. | ||||||
| 19. | +04:00 | Very poor route execution; I decided to go down to the trail along the stream south of 11, but I accidentally went through the green between 18 and 11 instead of immediately going south. Also very tired. | |||||
| 20. | +00:20 | I turned off on the wrong trail. I realized my error after about ten seconds and charged down the hill. Had I realized Lori was about ten seconds ahead of me, I would have put on the afterburners here. | |||||
| F. | As always, I sprinted from the Go, but Lori was about 50-60 meters ahead of me, and I failed to catch her. |
