So you thought that was on an unmapped smaller spur? Me too at the time, but then in retrospect esp. after no one else I talked to corroborated that, I just figured the map was so approximate in that area, I just wasn't sure...
BTW, I should mention, you seemed to have a really good run out there. Certainly not letting the fuzziness of the terrain slow your rate of attack through it
Yea, the #5 was a bit of a mistery. Greg said that it was ~20m or so lower and behind a vegitation on somthing like half a meter spur thing. I know when I got to what I thought was my spur I didn't see anythig so started to go up it, untill Greg yelled at me.
I ran right past #5, didn't see it and then proceeded to lose a couple of minutes. after that control it was taking it easy mode for me though I started well to #4.
I think #5 was OK. my error for not looking more when I got close. though listening to Balter at the finish it was clear he wasn't happy. :-)
You mean, until Greg coughed accidentally, you saw him but ignored him and navigated independently to the control?
I didn't tell Ali where #4 was in the long...
I am not embarrassed about being helped. I quite often find myself helping others in a similar fashion. I would probably not help a fellow Canadian if this was a NAOC race though. I am not saying that this is right, it's just that I respond naturally in such situations.
Yea, and we helped Duke there, too :-) at #5, and yes, who knows what was mapped there 30 years ago :-)
