| 1. | |||||||
| 2. | Stayed pretty much at the some level the whole way. | ||||||
| 3. | Passed by Nic Duca just before the control. | ||||||
| 4. | Dropped down immediately, and crossed on the dam (including the spillway). | ||||||
| 5. | Climbed a few extra lines, up to the indistinct trail, but that provided easy running on the bench. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | Started out too far to the left, puzzled by big cliffs that I couldn't find on the map, but other people showed up and revealed the way. | ||||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. | Okay for about the first half, then drifted way left, then corrected but did an awful job of identifying the rocks, and checked a few that were too far to the south. | ||||||
| 10. | Nikolay passed me and I was behind him for the first part of the leg, then Clam passed me and I followed him in to the control. | ||||||
| 11. | Walking and eating gu. | ||||||
| 12. | Somewhat left of the line, did a pretty good job of managing the climb and of knowing where I was at the end. Had to tie my right shoe. | ||||||
| 13. | Too far left, maybe influenced by people on other courses. | ||||||
| 14. | Way too far right, following the crowd, got to a control but the code was wrong, and I had to find the right one on my own. | ||||||
| 15. | Samantha went tearing by, clearly not having been to the control, even though I knew she was signed up for Blue. If I could have caught her, I would have told her. Then she changed direction and we crossed paths, and it turned out she had switched to Red. Pretty straight route for me, between the green marshes. | ||||||
| 16. | Had to tie my left shoe. Went almost perfectly to the control, didn't see a rock, and had to spin around to spot it just behind me. | ||||||
| 17. | Fast contouring, passed at the end by some guy who was much faster. | ||||||
| 18. | Fairly level route right of the line. | ||||||
| 19. | Saw Peter up ahead about halfway along. He had another control to the left, but I went over the last hill. | ||||||
| 20. | Pretty much straight, maybe shoudl have stayed on the trail a bit further to avoid the big reentrant. Got to just outside the circle, and initially didn;t think the spur I was looking at could be right because the shape was wrong. | ||||||
| 21. | Probably should have gone straight, but I couldn't face that hillside, and did the climb on the road instead. | ||||||
| 22. | |||||||
| 23. | |||||||
| F. | Overshot by a few meters. |
