| 2. | Out the high ground W of the pond. Above the rocks, cross the stream and ran up the spur. Already to tired to run the uphills. Surprised to see Ross leaving the control. | ||||||
| 3. | Apparently I had some trouble with my watch and stopped it at some point instead of taking a split. Thanks to seeing Ted at #5 I think I got them sorted out. Came as a rude surprise to be posted at 79 when I thought I done a 72. Ran hard to try and stay with Ross but could not keep up. No problem with control but Ross ran away. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:30 | Confused a bit by the ATV trails and got a bit left but could see the big rock. Saw Ted punching off to the SW. | |||||
| 5. | Straight. Common control with Blue and I was right behind Ted at the punch. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:30 | Common leg with Blue but I could not stay with Ted. Up thru rocks, over to small trail, thru marsh to larger trail. Ted gone at this point. Trail around to E side of pond. Saw JJ on way to 15. Straight from here looking for the rocks before the bag after crossing the last marsh. A bit south but saw the stone wall to the right and veered in. | |||||
| 7. | Straight | ||||||
| 8. | Went to far S to miss marsh. Might as well have taken the trail and come in thru the saddle. Contoured low around marsh and came in from below. Did not seem like a good route. | ||||||
| 9. | Straight. | ||||||
| 10. | +01:30 | Started straight but then decided to follow the stream around. Cut off to soon. (see now that I should have gone down a few contours first) and ended up wasting time in the wet area SE of the control. Saw Ted on his way out and a short time later Eddie. | |||||
| 11. | +03:00 | Not sure what went wrong here. Was there an extra trail? Ended up way high and eventually came in from the trail E of the control | |||||
| 12. | +00:40 | Straight, but staying left to preserve elevation. Missed bag at end and had to run N. | |||||
| 13. | Straight, trying to run down a cadet. Might be the one I passed at 9. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight, taking the trail NE to bend. No speed on the uphill but did pass the cadet. | ||||||
| 15. | +02:30 | Had a bonus split of 1:28 which I added to this leg since I know I botched it. Ran to pond then trail, stone wall. Attacked from near 3 but rocks were not as I expected. Passed S of the control and wasted time going to the wrong one. Caught by the cadet and joined by another. | |||||
| 16. | +00:45 | Think the company will keep my speed up on these short legs but instead I am distracted and miss the bag again. | |||||
| 17. | Straight | ||||||
| 18. | +00:40 | Confused by the wet area and stop short before continuing on | |||||
| 19. | Finally get my act together and drop the cadets. | ||||||
| 20. | +00:45 | To clearing corner, then stop thinking and take the trail and go wrong way at the junction. Recover quickly but not before the cadets pass me back. | |||||
| 21. | They take off. Run hard but cannot catch them. | ||||||
| F. | Stop watch at finish and think I have 72+. Apparently hit the button later since I find it running and have no finish split. Just made this time up but it seems to make my finish time come out ok. |
