PNWOF Relays: Leg 3 (Green)
dness
| 1. | headed off vaguely NNE. Somehow got confused between circle 1 and 2 on the map and got caught in the rocks just before the control. | ||||||
| 2. | Took the long way around -- hit the trail and came in from the north. Saw Rick B. leaving the control. | ||||||
| 3. | Came in from the S. just as R.B. came in from the N. He asked "When did you start?" (I now know the answer to be 5 secs before he did) | ||||||
| 4. | I went straight, R.B. a little left (but faster than me). He punched in just after me. | ||||||
| 5. | My turn to follow R.B. | ||||||
| 6. | R.B receding in the distance | ||||||
| 7. | ... and further | ||||||
| 8. | ... and further | ||||||
| 9. | Here I saw R.B leave to the NNE a bit right of the line. I followed the line pretty closely, marking off by-points. | ||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | Got a little muddled as to distance. Even checked the code at my #6. Was due S. of the control before correcting. | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | Somewhere around here, I picked up Peter Graham. We flip-flopped the rest of the way. | ||||||
| 15. | Just for fun, I pretended to punch in at the Go control, as I had a couple of people hot on my tail. I was running pretty hard for the sake of the spectators | ||||||
| 16. | But now I slowed down and Daniel Schaublin and Peter Graham passed me. | ||||||
| 17. | |||||||
| 18. | D.S. and P.G. went into the wrong rockpile, and I skirted (still finding some rocks, as I had come further N than I wanted). I punched in just after D.S., with P.G. still wandering the rocks. | ||||||
| 19. | |||||||
| 20. | Got muddled again here, losing time. P.G. also had an issue, but beat me to the punch. D.S was long gone. | ||||||
| F. | Yahoo! 10th finisher, giving my team a silver medal in the "Experienced" division (The combined orienteering age of David Tallent, Debbie Newell and me is 155). |
