1. | Tentative. Seemed like one that would be easy to overrun. | ||||||
2. | Fairly straight. Clean. | ||||||
3. | Stayed low to the left to avoid climb. | ||||||
4. | +00:30 | Straight. Missed slightly right, but relocated quickly using the reentrant on the far side of the stream. | |||||
5. | Slow going up the ridge. | ||||||
6. | Road to trail - didn't even consider the straight route since it was so much extra climb. | ||||||
7. | Back up to the trail then the road to the saddle (straight might have been faster). From the saddle went all the way down to the bottom of the ridge so I could attack from the base of the big reentrant S of the control. While this added a bit of distance and climb, it was safe and fast. Took a good bit out of David on this leg. | ||||||
8. | +02:30 | Missed low and had to come back. First real significant time loss. | |||||
9. | Accurate, but a bit tentative after the previous leg. Head was getting a little fuzzy from the effort and heat. | ||||||
10. | Attacked from the field above. Vegetation along the field was much thicker than mapped. Through the woods was probably a minute faster, but there was no way to know that. Fortunately, David went the same way. | ||||||
11. | Straight. | ||||||
12. | +01:00 | Missed left. | |||||
F. | Tried to push back in. Was pretty shot. |
