1. | +00:10 | Off left. | |||||
2. | +01:40 | Overran all the way to rocky spur. Must have been looking the wrong way while passing a few meters from control. Already caught by next runner. | |||||
3. | Determined to lose competitor | ||||||
4. | Fast but in control for 4-7. | ||||||
5. | |||||||
6. | |||||||
7. | Stayed high and R of line | ||||||
8. | +00:10 | Took low route by marsh and opened up - slight mistake climbing hill to main trail instead of cutting corner. Cautious into control to avoid parallel error. | |||||
9. | Vlad is behind me so I'm running. | ||||||
10. | Slightly L up ridge. Vlad disappears (on different course) - running takes toll as I have to regroup at big reentrant halfway through. | ||||||
11. | +00:15 | Intended to run over hilltop and down reentrant - didn't execute and went just below big boulder | |||||
12. | +00:15 | Hesitated on small hilltop NE of control | |||||
13. | +00:10 | Didn't have an attackpoint - was 50m W of control | |||||
14. | Pushed up hill - saw control from 100m | ||||||
15. | +02:00 | Took R route. Tripped on sage while passing downhill at full speed and took a faceful of dirt as I rolled just in time to avoid braining myself on a rock. Lost contact with map approaching circle from the east and got pulled off and too high by a different control. | |||||
16. | |||||||
17. | Nothing to do but run... and worry about making a stupid mistake in full view of the crowd. | ||||||
F. | I take my splits just before punching so my run in times are a few seconds slow. |
