tdgood
| 1. | I was the last starter with lots of gaps of people in front of me. There was one person who started 30 seconds in front of me but a 3.5 minute gap before him. Needless to say, there wasn't a steady stream of people to pass. Started off slow to make sure I didn't make a mistake. | ||||||
| 2. | Stayed to high and climbed down the rocks. Cut through the tip of the aspens and contoured to the control. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:05 | Ended up to low and had to run up the reentrant to the control. | |||||
| 4. | Cut around the rocks to the right. fought my way through the trees and up to the hill. | ||||||
| 5. | Run to the rock. | ||||||
| 6. | +02:30 | First of the rocky ones. I made sure I was reading carefully. Past the two boulders in the field. Then I apparently ran off th wrong direction. instead of turning right around the rocks I kept running straight the the next sect of rocks by the number 6 number and started looking in the wrong spot. Clearly I wasn't in the right area but was having a really tough time matching things up. Finally realized what I had done and ran, hesitantly to the control. | |||||
| 7. | +04:00 | I screwed this up royally. I decided I would go right around all the rock which was clearly a dumb thing to do. I ran around to the right and hit another aspen grove east of number 7. I spent a while looking around it. Fianlly had to go out to the trail to relocate. Saw people coming out of seven and followed them back. | |||||
| 8. | At this point I stopped running hard. Tried to keep moving but the sprint was shot in terms of points. Contoured a little but mostly straight to it. | ||||||
| 9. | Straight | ||||||
| 10. | +00:10 | Went to the right to avoid some climb. It was a long way around the hill so I think straighter over the top would have been better. | |||||
| 11. | straight | ||||||
| 12. | straight | ||||||
| F. | +00:08 | Easy jog in |
