I believe BJ could have cleared.

I looked at the time I spent doing 40-49-42-53, which was 12 minutes. BJ took 7 minutes to get from 53-40, which means +5 minutes to swing the loop - he had 5:30 to spare going off of his LiveLox total time.

The one factor I have not accounted for is that I hit that section early and was fresh, flying from 42 to the trail, whereas BJ was late into his race and mentioned he was hitting a wall, so perhaps expected pace was not the same. But if you have him get 71 on the first pass, that's enough to cover some of that, I figure. Also, 53-42 is harder than 42-53, which might add a little time.

Either way, impressive run by him!

Event: SMOC Holly Rec
 

Non competitive run around Holly Rec. I tried to get them all, and was mostly on track, but energy flagged right as the woods thickened up a little at my halfway point, so I started bleeding time. I think a clear was possible by a faster person, but I should not have gone for the red herring at 54. I bobbled trying to squeeze between the greens to hit it direct, but I missed by two access roads and had to backtrack, and hit my last time target 5 minutes behind instead of five minutes ahead. This really wrecked my campground loop, and I literally saw controls I couldn't get to. 56 seconds late, almost could have made it on time if i hadn't put hands on knees to catch breath and walked last two hills. I'd be good at this were I in shape.

FUN!! Really glad I went if even if I was unofficial.

pickup, c and some trash since I was frustrated to see another hunter troll our FB (I hid and ignored).

SCORE - Splits

Small world

When I went and did some Long Champs setting, as I drove away from Bishop Lake I saw a red Taurus with a yellow kayak. Given that I know one person who has a red Taurus and a yellow kayak, I made a note to eventually ask him if he had played hooky on that same work day, and today I finally confirmed that it was him. Given that I live 20 miles away and him more like 35, and that we only had a 2-3 minute window of time to be on the same stretch of Bishop Lake Road, that is a crazy small world or interesting set of coincidences that conspire to put us both in that location at the same time.

I double check one location, or don't double check one location....doesn't overlap. He stops for gas on the way...
