ahr:171 max:182 spiked:9/13c
csu parko 8 at the fells, long pond.
woof. someone remind me why start triangles are equilateral. lost at least a minute heading to twelve first. 12 /= 1. feh. didn't screw my head on until 6ish, 7ish. happy with the last half though. no map case + the ben sweats + ben foliage management techniques = confetti
also, time for a new hrm battery, perhaps
1) Braindead. My fault definitly, but a less, uh, darwinian route setter wouldn't have the start and finish controls on top of each other, with the first and last legs 120 degrees apart.
2) Stumbly, bad compassing.
3) More stumbles
4) Found that marsh at speed, and got boxed in by some vegetables
5) First good leg. Shouldn't've been surprised by the stone wall, though.
6) Progressively aimed further off. Should've been using the terrain, not the compass.
7) Best leg, hands down. Used two boulders to line up on the control and spiked it
8) Pretty good. A little hesitatey at the first boulders off the trail
9) Took the long way around instead of the frontal assault. Was trying to drop Dave Yee, so I went the stupid, straightforward why and gassed it
10) Pretty good
11) Fine
12) Also fine - a little surprised to see it so soon
13) Shoulda taken the western trail. Went a-bashing, maybe should've taken the trail?
