1. | Was in no rush to head off in the wrong direction, so I took a few seconds to orient the map. | ||||||
2. | Left. I think right might have been a few seconds faster. | ||||||
3. | Straight; simple leg. | ||||||
4. | Right. Control was on sewer rather than the hydrant, but it was easy to see from the hydrant, so only a few seconds lost. | ||||||
5. | Left. | ||||||
6. | Straight. Grass was pretty high. | ||||||
7. | Straight. | ||||||
8. | +00:20 | Drifted way right for some reason. Had to run down the road for 100m to get to the big bridge. | |||||
9. | +00:40 | Route north was very overgrown at the control, so I decided to go around. Turned out to be a bad choice. Bill said the running was fine after a few meters and he beat me by quite a bit on the leg. | |||||
10. | Right. | ||||||
11. | Right. | ||||||
12. | Left and took the ford. Water was higher than usual, but it was still a pretty quick crossing. | ||||||
13. | Badly misplaced control. Clue was veg boundary, and it was on the veg boundary 100m to the east. As I took the route right along the lake, I didn't see it until I had run all the way to the correct location. Those who took the longer route on the path were rewarded with finding it early. I don't think it changed the outcome, but it did spoil an otherwise good course. | ||||||
14. | Straight. | ||||||
15. | Straight. | ||||||
F. | Straight. |
