| 1. | +00:25 | Sometimes, when they say "go", I'm just not mentally ready to orienteer. I went due south, but when the trail ended so fast, I couldn't believe I was already at the open area, and didn't see on the map that there was a trail going left. Thought about just bashing through the green in the right direction. Bad idea. So I came back toward the start, and did it right: trail east, then trail south through the green, then around the green to the left. | |||||
| 2. | Straight, catching the trail at the junction. | ||||||
| 3. | Trail. | ||||||
| 4. | Straight, keeping an eye on the stone wall. | ||||||
| 5. | +00:10 | Somehow I took the trail going east past the stone wall without seeing it! I corrected quickly, but then I was running south through the light green to get to it. | |||||
| 6. | Ran to the stone wall, then north to the trail, then right at the trail junction past the stone wall a bit, and then straight. | ||||||
| 7. | Into the open area, then all trail. | ||||||
| 8. | Trails, attacking from the bend due west of control. | ||||||
| 9. | Along the stone wall. | ||||||
| 10. | Aimed off to the ride. Expected to catch the trail, but I never saw it, and didn't much care. Running along the ride was slower than expected, but this was a safe route. | ||||||
| 11. | Straight. | ||||||
| 12. | +00:10 | Back to the ride, a little it on the trail, then up. Aimed for the stone wall junction, but missed a bit right and hit the east-west stone wall. | |||||
| 13. | Trail, cutting over at the bend. | ||||||
| 14. | Due north to the trail, leaving at the bend. | ||||||
| 15. | Stayed in the open area. | ||||||
