Pre-Billygoat Sprints: Sprint #2 (Green)
Nadim
| 1. | +00:25 | Ran too hard in the field and didn't follow my plan to stay on the hillside. I went to the top and then back down. | |||||
| 2. | +00:30 | I got confused by the trails thinking I was on one dropping to the pond. I got left of the ridge then took the wide trail to the intersection. I ran across the high ground but paused before the control. Another guy was standing there. I figured it out quickly but the other guy had got the jump on me and got there first. | |||||
| 3. | Fairly straight. It wasn't bad crossing the marsh. I read the reentrant to my right and went over the hill to spike it. | ||||||
| 4. | +02:30 | I decided to go straight and hit the trail. Along the way I saw control #4 from Sprint A and then Jon Frederickson punching there. I was tired of climbing at this point and made a spur of the moment decision to contour around the rest of the way. It made sense because of reduced climb and knowing that I'd been that way headed the other direction during Sprint A. I should have just climbed a small bit more and taken the trail. I ran with a rock wall on my right. I got away from it a bit and then lost my place both on the map and in the forest. I mistook the next rock wall and a bend for one that was in reality ahead on the map. Both walls bent so I made a kind of parallel error thinking that I should go ahead. I crossed a marsh and thought that strange but hadn't realized yet that I was not where I thought I was. I looked left and saw a control on my left. Getting there I found it to be #5. After some disbelief, I ran back toward #4, passing Andy Hall headed to #5. It was a long slog but I got there. | |||||
| 5. | Down a bit to the left of straight and left of how I'd come up. This made for better running. | ||||||
| F. | I ran a bit to the left too much and wasn't all that enthused since I'd made so many errors. |
