Good race, nice venue. No mistakes of note, except getting mired in some vegetation, when a longer circuitous avoidance strategy was probably called for. Executed fine, just cost me precious time picking a line with minimal blood loss. About 4 min back of 1st in 3rd spot, 30s back of 2nd, and over 10 minute cushion back to 4th place. Early (ie cold) start in the AM, then hopping right in the car when Hayden finishes to head east.
3 fastest splits - #3, 6 & 13
#7 - hesitation looking for cleanest route into control [-12s]
#14 - up onto ridge, basically repeateing same route taken on first control, fast running, then then elected to shoot for what looked like a gap in the green, very bad idea, total crap in there. Should have stayed out of the green [-3m30s]
#15 - just slow finding a clean runnable route. Navigation was fine, but had to dodge a lot of brambles. [-31s]
