| 1. | Contoured, which was dumb, should haev just taken the trail. Eventually had to climb up anyway when it got too rocky. I was too high when I got the circle and had to go around the big rocky hill. | ||||||
| 2. | Fine. | ||||||
| 3. | Easy enough to handrail off of the big cliff, but then I was sloppy heading into the laurel patches, overshot to the trail, went back in but I was too far south. | ||||||
| 4. | Pretty much straight, would have spiked it except that I had a notion in my head that the control was on the boulder, and walked right past the cliff. | ||||||
| 5. | Fine. | ||||||
| 6. | Picked the wrong spot to clib up through the laurel, got too far south and tried to get things to match up improperly until I saw the trail and realized where I was. | ||||||
| 7. | East to trail, north for about 200 meters, then straight. Went through more mountain laurel than I should have. | ||||||
| 8. | A bit right of the line to stay in the nice woods on top of the hill. Got stuck behind the marsh with 100 meters to go, and just walked through it. | ||||||
| 9. | Just left of the line to miss the laurel, getting into the really nice woods here. | ||||||
| 10. | Kept my eyes open and spotted this giant rock from a ways off. | ||||||
| 11. | Really fun downhill running through open woods. | ||||||
| 12. | Stone wall to trail, took it around the curve, then went straight. There's a really spectacular unmapped gully at the steep part of the slope. | ||||||
| F. | Stephen ran Orange by himself for the first time, and started at the same time that I did. I was hoping he'd have a good run and not get discouraged, and in fact he was back a half hour before me after having smoked the course. |
