1. | +01:00 | Up road, then up rocky tip. Stopped about two contours short (should've had a bearing, but didn't), and cut right to hig rocks W of control, then cut back | |||||
2. | +00:15 | Bounce off fence (on purpose), then drop, looking for reentrant and cliff - hit trail instead and then cut in. Hesitant on way down | |||||
3. | Contour/drop out to road, then in from bend. | ||||||
4. | +00:10 | Contour/drop out to road, then in from bend. Didn't see either manmade object but I did hit the charcoal platform, and then cut in. Was standing 5m from bag/depression before I saw it. (Hesitation at end | |||||
5. | +00:25 | Slow exit (5s), across saddle, diagonal down hill, contour in toward 5 - saw spur SW of bag as catching feature, slowed a bit (not sure if I was high or low), then kept going toward edge and saw bag above. | |||||
6. | +01:00 | Down spur, across water (looked for dry spot & didn't find - 15s). Ind. trail up, missed turned, but noticed green so cut up through not-so-rocky area. Re-tied both shoes (wet) on spur right before control (45). | |||||
7. | +00:05 | S, around rocks to right, then diagonal in along bottom. | |||||
8. | Diagonal out to road, over stream, trail to near fence, to fence corner, up to saddle straight in. | ||||||
9. | +00:15 | NE/E to dirt road, along road, then in N to pit - lower than my bearing but close to bottom as map showed. | |||||
10. | +01:10 | Down marsh, got left and stuck in a bunch of green before cutting far enough back to the bag | |||||
11. | Up, pushed right by veg. | ||||||
12. | N out to road. Straight on road, gap, clearing to dirt road/paved road/trail junc., then up trail (green blaze) beyond end of mapped trail until I saw bag on right. (Looking at watch and knowing I needed to beat 54, or was it 52?, I was pushing...) | ||||||
13. | To fence and around. Darn rocky even along edge where there's often a trail... Once I got around fence I noticed the rocks tapering off and then diagonaled down, hit long hill/road, ran along, read boulder on left and then dove right nailing bag. | ||||||
14. | Straight, cueing off building. | ||||||
F. | Straight. Happy to beat 52... Despite a bit of sloppiness. it felt hot out there, but there was plenty of water on course, some of which went on my head... |
