1. | Fine, had to remind myself to not push too hard uphill but other than that ok. | ||||||
2. | Ok, up the hill to the saddle, could have skirted around the top but I just went all the way up. Felt like I was reading contours well. | ||||||
3. | P | P | Ok, a little slow once I got over the spur cause I hesitated with the lower reentrants but realized that I needed to go further and the other controls didn't draw me off much. | ||||
4. | All good, said to myself part way through "this is 1:15, it's going to take longer than you expect" which it did indeed do. | ||||||
5. | Up through the saddle, then down and to the trail, went down the trail a tad and then skirted around the spur. Tried to stay higher up until after the reentrant. | ||||||
6. | totally fine | ||||||
7. | P | Made sure I was keeping good track of exactly where I was, where I hit the trails, and then used the cliff to check the reentrant I went up to over the spur. All good. | |||||
8. | R | I don't think I made a smart route choice on this one, but I just followed the trail all the way. I was feeling worried about getting really tired too early in the race and the trail allowed me for a brain break and also limited dropping and climbing over and over so I just went with it. Think it would've been better to at least have cut some corners such as up the reentrant past eleven to the trail junction. | |||||
9. | Side-hilled and dropped on the spur of 8 and then cut up at the rocks and bend in the stream, was totally fine getting over from there. | ||||||
10. | Easy up the reentrant and over the saddle. Cliffs are a lot smaller here than in New England | ||||||
11. | Down to the stream then up to the trail, used the trail all the way. Very nice brain break and easy running. Appreciated my time on it. | ||||||
12. | Up and Up and Up. Could see it from pretty far away but getting to it took a while. | ||||||
13. | P | R | Tried to stay higher around, definitely think I should've just dropped down into the reentrant and followed along that. Did extra distance and on rocky ground too. Not smart. | ||||
14. | totally fine up and over the saddle | ||||||
15. | Stayed too low on the side of the hill but kept good track of the reentrants so was fine. | ||||||
16. | P | Did not check my compass carefully out of 15, had no idea where I hit the trail, had to wander up the trail to figure out where I was. | |||||
17. | P | Was stupidly slow but yanno | |||||
