| 1. | For some reason, I am having a hard time remembering exactly where I went. I spent the entire race with my eyes burning from sweat due to the glaring sun. I was only able to get occasional glances at the map but I found the terrain very easy to read. On #1, I took the small trail to the intersection of the larger one and then straight through the depression and over the small ridge. | ||||||
| 2. | straight | ||||||
| 3. | +00:15 | Took trail all the way around (I think). Would have been better to cut between the 2 marshes | |||||
| 4. | +00:10 | straight, hesitated because of the water in the open space between marshes but decided to just go for it. Glad I did as I got into water twice more on the course. | |||||
| 5. | +00:15 | don't remember- I think I went straight to 2nd big trail then right and cut in after 2nd marsh. I lost time here in the splits but I'm not sure why exactly | |||||
| 6. | straight | ||||||
| 7. | +00:15 | I think I went between the 2 marshes and then straight into it. I remember hesitating and then looking to the power lines to help place myself. then I saw the marker - disaster averted. | |||||
| 8. | Absolutely spiked this one even though it was hidden in the grass - the spur was very distinct. Definitely into the map now. | ||||||
| 9. | between marshes - spike | ||||||
| 10. | spike | ||||||
| 11. | around marsh then paralleled left side of trail under power line. spike | ||||||
| 12. | around marsh to road briefly then spike | ||||||
| 13. | between marshes then straight into it - spike | ||||||
| 14. | just right of line then straight -don't remember the end of leg | ||||||
| 15. | left around 2 marshes, then up spur to NE to top of U shaped hill, then between 2 marshes and straight in - spike | ||||||
| 16. | don't remember but I think it was a spike | ||||||
| 17. | was going to go right of narrow marsh but ended up to the left which was just fine - spike | ||||||
| 18. | In between large and small marsh then straight at it-spike I think | ||||||
| 19. | +00:40 | my worst leg. straight to u-shaped hill then lost contact with map. went left to relocate on top of hill near road bend -then straight from there. | |||||
| 20. | left of big hill then straight -spiked it despite hidden in the grass | ||||||
| 21. | +00:05 | ran towards crowd at top of hill thinking control was there - they pointed me to control just off top of hill. | |||||
