1. | Trail to spur, then spur up. | ||||||
2. |
Did not like map +04:30 | Down the trail into the green, then out onto open. Found the cliff in the bushes, but didn't make big enough circles to find the misplaced control. Finally saw Jim & co. run fast towards 3, and figured out they must have found it. Climbed higher and further into the open and there it was. | |||||
3. | Down the hill. | ||||||
4. | Road. | ||||||
5. | +00:10 | Diagonal uphill. Overshot a bit. | |||||
6. |
Bad compass work +00:45 | Tried relying on the compass, which for this leg might actually have worked. But I mistrusted it and went too far to the right. Had to come back up from the road. | |||||
7. | Swung wide left and down the spur to avoid the bushes. | ||||||
8. | On path until it started turning, then up to the road. Not a bad time considering 240 ft of climb. | ||||||
9. | Making sure to pick a reasonably straight and fast route through the bushes. | ||||||
10. | The control was mapped as being south of 9, but in reality it was more like SW. Luckily I had seen the rocks on the way to 9. | ||||||
F. |
Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Underrated difficulty +02:00 | Was going to run straight, but started getting pushed left by vegetation. Then ended up crossing through the fight to the trail. Should have climbed/contoured around right. |
