1. | Zac started out a minute ahead of me. Zac was taunting me from the ridge on his way to #2. This helped me because up to this point I was planning a route to the right to the next control. Unfortunately the next control was to the left. I had inadvertently planned a route to control #8 instead of #2 | ||||||
2. | No sign of Zac | ||||||
3. | No sign of Zac | ||||||
4. | As I rounded the corner into #4 Zac was leaving on his way to #5 | ||||||
5. | No sign of Zac. Later found out Zac went west & I went east out of #5 | ||||||
6. | Caught Zac leaving # 6 as I came in | ||||||
7. | +01:00 | Got tired and walked a little bit along an especially muddy portion of the trail. This time out of #6, I went north as Zac went east. Turns out he whomped me to this control | |||||
8. | +00:30 | He ran much faster down the hill to #8 than I did, | |||||
9. | +02:00 | I decided to take the scenic trail instead of the paved path like Zac did. My mind & legs wanted to take the paved path but my heart was set on the scenic trail. Cost me at least 2 minutes on Zac. | |||||
F. | +00:30 | Tuckered out and after the spillway I went right while Zac went left http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1620772" |
