A good day in the woods, not fast and probably twice the time running than I've done since Team Trials, but only 5-6 minutes of real errors and I managed to run steadily with very little walking for the entire time. Quite happy with the venture - though I don't have splits and haven't seen results. Will write more when I have details on time lost etc... Plus its time to get the kids in bed...
19th of 36 in M45
Errors via
winsplits:
#4 -6:45 - felt like vegetation was pushing me L so I corrected R and wound up in small clearing NW of control - took a few minutes to make sense of where I was along the trail - seemed like other unmapped trails in the area.
#5 -2:14 - wound up slight N, then slow picking my way through ferns to the correct area - nice herd path leaving the bag - wish I could have found one leading to it as well...
#13 -1:49 - should have headed directly to road, but instead tried to go just L of line and got sucked through the marshes and then up the bigger hill - hit the stonewall corner and clean from there - but too much wandering/thrashing when I could have been running on the road
#14 -4:21 - got L of the line and hit a bag on a small marsh - didn't see the one hidden in the index contour NW of control and incorrectly convinced myself I was at the narrow marsh NE of control - so wandered in the wrong direction for a bit before figuring it all out.
Rest ok with (7) top ten splits...
