1. | Had an inclination which way to go, but it wasn't optimal to run up the hill and past the ruin like I did. Like everyone else, missed left and low, but figured it out before anyone else. | ||||||
2. | Kept Ross et al to my right, but got off the line closer to the control. Neil was further left than I, and that would seem to foreshadow his race ;) | ||||||
3. | Push out on the road | ||||||
4. | The pace was brisk, and I didn't read the map well. Was downhill from the control. | ||||||
5. | Pushed after Sam down to the trail. Closed the gap on Ali. Boris takes a better route and is right there. | ||||||
6. | Again left, and low. The map is pretty vague south and below the control. Ali again straighter and faster. | ||||||
7. | I did well on this control, catching up to two people. | ||||||
8. | But, Sam was right there, and so was Ali. I was a little hesitant going into 8 and they got ahead. | ||||||
9. | Wanted to go right (do a 90) but the pack was correct, and I hustled to catchup. It didn't hurt that I took a better route in. | ||||||
10. | I wanted to go right wound the hill, but that wouldn't be good. Again, hustled to catchup and hard on the trail. Sam is good downhill on rocky trails! | ||||||
11. | A fun leg. Again low and left, but should have been more confident on this one. High is the safe side. | ||||||
12. | I go left and Ali follows. I was more left than I realized, leading to a lot of hesitation when I got to the E-W trails and people who went wide right were ahead again. | ||||||
