| 1. | 645m | 5:14 | 4 | +28 | 10% | 94.2 | 8:06 | 645m | 5:14 | 4 | +28 | 10% | 8:06 | Ran through start triangle, although heading S immediately looks better. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | 840m | 12:26 | 11 | +5:33 | 81% | 57.5 | 3:30 | 2:08 | 14:48 | 1485m | 17:40 | 9 | +5:39 | 47% | 11:53 | Took direct path, but somehow miscounted big reentrants and arrived sooner than expected, and compounded my error by refusing to acknowledge that the trail I crossed on either side of large spur was the mapped trail. Crossed steep reentrant beyond flag and started steep climb before I came to my senses. Then had to run both directions on trail before hitting flag. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | 260m | 3:01 | 11 | +48 | 36% | 79.7 | 11:36 | 1745m | 20:41 | 9 | +6:08 | 42% | 11:51 | Trail run then up reentrant past trash heap. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. | 1475m | 24:38 | 12 | +10:35 | 75% | 60.6 | 7:00 | 3:07 | 16:42 | 3220m | 45:19 | 12 | +16:43 | 58% | 14:04 | Worst leg of entire calendar year. Started left of line along southernmost trails aiming for power line cut. Quickly realized that there was a lot of needless up and down, but felt I was too far committed to change. Rationalized that approach would be easier ultimately, but then cut off trail too early and wound up too high on slope in marshy reentrant I still can't identify on the map. Had to bail out W to stream before attacking again. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 5. | 120m | 1:57 | 11 | +1:04 | 121% | 47.3 | 45 | 37 | 16:15 | 3340m | 47:16 | 10 | +17:46 | 60% | 14:09 | Tried to run leg a compass, but again failed, drifting to R. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | 810m | 8:40 | 7 | +2:56 | 51% | 75.0 | 10:41 | 4150m | 55:56 | 11 | +20:42 | 59% | 13:28 | Diagonally down slope to depression-strewn bottom of hillside. Checked out control from other course before hitting water-stop. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 170m | 2:02 | 5 | +33 | 37% | 76.0 | 11:57 | 4320m | 57:58 | 12 | +18:24 | 47% | 13:25 | Again on compass. No good plan of attack, but saw flag from a long way off. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 1475m | 18:05 | 12 | +6:41 | 59% | 64.6 | 2:30 | 1:14 | 12:15 | 5795m | 1:16:03 | 12 | +24:33 | 48% | 13:07 | Cut diagonally to power line arriving at top of steep descent. Trail run cutting obvious corner below curved cliffs. Attacked from building, but drifted too far R (again) and missed stone wall. Found water stop on cliff to NE, then contoured roughly to control. Still never saw the stone wall. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 280m | 3:48 | 12 | +1:59 | 109% | 55.4 | 45 | 13:34 | 6075m | 1:19:51 | 13 | +26:32 | 50% | 13:08 | Back past water stop (enjoying a second unscheduled drink) and then on compass picking up southern cliff and stone wall intersection before correcting N to correct cliff | |||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 1470m | 13:38 | 6 | +2:19 | 20% | 84.0 | 9:16 | 7545m | 1:33:29 | 11 | +28:42 | 44% | 12:23 | Finally a decent leg. Downhill picking up small stream to bend in road, then followed mercifully flatter trails before heading up hill through multiple pits and paired cliffs. Nailed control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 120m | 1:07 | 4 | +1 | 2% | 98.5 | 9:18 | 7665m | 1:34:36 | 11 | +28:34 | 43% | 12:20 | Contoured slightly around top of hill. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 285m | 3:29 | 9 | +1:07 | 47% | 69.4 | 12:13 | 7950m | 1:38:05 | 11 | +29:38 | 43% | 12:20 | Ran northern trail as I had yesterday, and again nailed control after fighting through some young pines on the W side of broader knoll N of control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 285m | 6:28 | 12 | +3:22 | 109% | 48.3 | 2:00 | 1:57 | 22:41 | 8235m | 1:44:33 | 11 | +32:57 | 46% | 12:41 | Oops. Made 90 degree error leaving control and hit NS trail rather than EW trail. Had planned to cut through marsh, but descent appeared too steep, so started running trail to L (past aid station from different course). Suddenly noticed road visible below me and check compass. Retreated sheepishly past aid station again, then crossed bridge and ran E of marsh before picking up trails again. At least I recognized correct cliff after crossing tiny stream. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 1530m | 12:29 | 7 | +2:48 | 29% | 80.4 | 8:09 | 9765m | 1:57:02 | 11 | +34:47 | 42% | 11:59 | Along trail, then cut up through broader reentrant to pick up SW trail to road. Not sure if there is a real advantage one way or the other, but road run gave me a chance to plan rest of routes. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | 140m | 58 | 5 | +6 | 12% | 92.0 | 6:54 | 9905m | 1:58:00 | 9 | +34:22 | 41% | 11:54 | Retraced steps confidently. Stopped for much needed water. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 915m | 10:42 | 7 | +2:52 | 37% | 74.4 | 11:41 | 10820m | 2:08:42 | 11 | +37:14 | 41% | 11:53 | Road, then cut through open area on very convenient beaten path. Around spur, between marshes, then up diagonally to follow stream. Not much energy left here. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 460m | 4:28 | 9 | +1:30 | 51% | 67.8 | 9:42 | 11280m | 2:13:10 | 10 | +38:43 | 41% | 11:48 | A little higher than intended, hitting small pond dead center before going around to N. Joined pack of runners heading down trail. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | 70m | 15 | 9 | +7 | 88% | 60.0 | 3:34 | 11350m | 2:13:25 | 11 | +38:45 | 41% | 11:45 | Have just enough to keep Tim Good from catching me at end. | ||||||||||||||||||||
