| 1. | Started up the trail, looked at map and changed my mind. Ran back to road and took that -- still saving good time. | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | Took trail out to road and up road almost to control. Then ducked in and got control. | ||||||
| 4. | Followed trail down hill to junction and then straight east to marsh and control. | ||||||
| 5. | NW through woods to road jct., then trail around to control. | ||||||
| 6. | Followed logging road down hill until slope eased off, then turned east 100m to control. Slightly low. Mark Dominie came rolling in at the same time. | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | Did the "U" series. Straight up hill to trail towards field. At jct with trail off to N, turned S and nailed UA control. | ||||||
| 9. | Down along edge of field to road and up to XU. Heard thunderous crashing through woods and saw Mark coming out behind me. | ||||||
| 10. | Cut to trail and up to US. | ||||||
| 11. | To field and into grass to NU. Mark still with me. | ||||||
| 12. | +03:00 | Along bottom of field to ditch. About 20m low and couldn't see control. Had to loop around twice and go up to pond before I found control UR. Mark was higher and slipped away. | |||||
| 13. | To exchange. | ||||||
| 14. | Didn't have bike for the second loop, so did this on foot. | ||||||
| 15. | Along trail, cutting corners through woods. | ||||||
| 16. | S along top edge of hillside to trail, then down to road and control. | ||||||
| 17. | Decided I couldn't match bikes on road, so cut straight up through woods. Nice orienteering. Came up from S to stream, followed it to dry spring, and NNW 200m exactly to control. | ||||||
| 18. | Trail/across saddle/trail. | ||||||
| 19. | Trail/across hilltop/trail to stream crossing then straight up to control. | ||||||
| 20. | Out to road, cut off on small trail, then across woods to control. | ||||||
| 21. | Trail N and around to control. | ||||||
| 22. | Back on trail, across fields to trail to jct. Ran past stone pile, counted pace and turned around after 50m. Saw control on way back. | ||||||
| 23. | Around hillside, S to road, up to E end of horse field, then across woods to trails and control. | ||||||
| 24. | Down hill, staying next to field. this trail was very poor with a lot of overgrowth. Lost time fighting through vegetation. | ||||||
| F. | Grabbed flower and ran. Nice race. Thanks Ann for setting it up. |
