| 1. | Only a moderately slow start, to be completely sure I knew what I was doing. | ||||||
| 2. | +01:20 | Back past the start triangle, then I thought I may have seen the indistinct trail, but went 50m past, then tried to come back and cut in earlier (I think it had been the smaller clearing that I had seen. Cut down to the ditch but went way too low and had to climb a few unnecessary contours. | |||||
| 3. | All trail until the last intersection where I angled down. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:10 | Angled up and when I hit the second trail I was at a bridge, but didn't see it mapped. Didn't think to look to see what would be bridged. Eventually I stumbled along to the corner to verify where I was. | |||||
| 5. | Angled down and there were plenty of distinct ditches to keep me aligned. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:05 | Ran east and tried to eyeball the start of the residential area to be the right height. Paused near the pits before the circle. | |||||
| 7. | Right on line. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:20 | Didn't make it over to the trail - should have aimed right a bit - until I saw the fence at the corner of the residential area. Couldn't see the indistinct trail, so I battled my way thru to the fence (trying to catch a cadet), then the ditch and I was a bit too high. | |||||
| 9. | Out via the white, then straight which put me to the punch just ahead of the cadet who went around. | ||||||
| 10. | He edged me out to the next few controls (and totally outran me the last couple). | ||||||
| 11. | Straight. | ||||||
| 12. | Straight - caught my friend again when he paused briefly at the entrance to the clearing. | ||||||
| 13. | Straight, just off the left of the pines. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight (right of the building). | ||||||
| 15. | Along the clearing's edge, but cut thru the last rough area to try to save a few steps. | ||||||
| F. | Ran hard, since I knew Nate would have this split (got him by 2 seconds, but only because he got his SI stuck briefly trying to leave the control and lost his mo). |
