Middle, Victor Constant Ski Slope, Brown Y, 0815 start turned out to be OK since sky was blue and mostly sunny first thing. It did show itself to be a cold, windy day though as the morning proceeded. About a B + run tho off to a bad start by neglecting to punch at the start triangle. Leaving 1, that thought took form which distracted in the sense of possible mp. Maybe bit slow on 1, 2 OK, three distracted as I ran within sight of the start triangle, which I could see I did not punch. So on the way to 3, went a bit beyond the indistinct trail turnoff, lost maybe 50”. 4 was a very OOB climb. Dumb route choice to 7, mostly straight. Fell a few times, muddying back/rear and bloodying hands & map. How clever to bail out to the road, run downhill and see the flag from the road! Wet feet going straight to 8. Time wise, the distraction on 3 and RC to 7 cost a couple of minutes.
Pleased to see no mp, had a time of 34:12. I thought about it. Start was 0815 but punch at triangle would have been 0818+ - think that's right. So I figured something like 31:12 but what to do. My 310 said 33:20 for the run. I’d started it 2’ early at the control description point, getting that part of behind me early. It was suggested I mention it to Val & she came up with 2.5’ and changed it. Would be easier to do it correctly in the first place. Mentally rusty.
