1. | In a group of 5 immediately. 2d one to control | ||||||
2. | Had visited this control while looking for #3 in the Prologue. Straight through aspens, catching a group that had gone around L. | ||||||
3. | +00:45 | Running too hard, veered far L, going by hilltop at road bend before correcting. | |||||
4. | +00:20 | Chasing Rich Kelly - crossed aspens and misread the copses, veering R until I saw the road to the south. | |||||
5. | |||||||
6. | +01:00 | Opened up a bit, passing a line of runners across open by marshes. Wondered why they all were heading straight N, headed NNW through rocky knolls and losing contact with map. Relocated in the big patch of aspen east of control. | |||||
7. | Started chasing in earnest while looking ahead on map | ||||||
8. | Took water | ||||||
9. | Took R route but turned uphill too early, slowing until I saw aspens and top of the rock. | ||||||
10. | +00:45 | Unsure crossing last ridge - a little L of line. | |||||
11. | |||||||
12. | |||||||
13. | Chasing Marty H-T | ||||||
14. | Passed Marty on rough bearing and came out right on. | ||||||
