| 18. | Contemplated route choices with Steve O. Went south route but missed indistinct trail junction and wandered along hill before spotting a swamp and regaining the trail. Easy to navigate in from trail jct and swamp to the SE | ||||||

| 21. | |||||||
| 22. | Stayed on line, but in the green my legs cramped again and I was forced to stop. Finally gave up and lay down, hoping the liquid and food would kick in. Seemed like a long time before I heard some crunching in the woods and got up to see a fellow in red and a cadet go by. Since I was up, I went along and felt a bit better. Cramps seemed to be gone. | ||||||
| 23. | Straight in, saw Sam Levitin coming in. | ||||||
| 24. | Went straight over hill, feeling good, jogging a bit, but was pretty tired and sat a t the picnic table contemplating what to eat fromthe finish food area. Sam came in and mentioned COKE. Perfect!. Went over, talked to Hill and Sam, downed a COKE in 30seconds, a big burp, and I was off feeling better. Was heading for #26, before Sam yelled a correction...... | ||||||
| 25. | Stayed along water and cut through a yellow hole under the powerline, still feeling good, a bit of jogging, but got too far right into lower swamp. Quickly compensated. | ||||||
| 26. | Went right and low around hill. | ||||||
| 27. | Caught sight of cadet and red fellow. Punched just behind them. | ||||||
| 28. | Straight down hill to avoid green, turned hard left, but stopped short. Cadet ahead, followed him in. | ||||||
| F. | Jogged down hill , feeling OK, but hamstring tightened and cramped in the last 100 meters. Walked in. Drank 4 cups water, 2 bowls of pasta and stew, 1 bowl of pasta and chili, 1 cheeseburger, 1 orange. |
