I think orunner also went right on 7-8.
Nope, I was thinking of 6-7.
Trail was definitely faster on 2-3. That's the only leg I beat both you and dersu.
Yeah, I didn't really considered going left on 6-7. How easy was it to get thru the green out of 6 and then into 7?
Also, what happened to you at #10?
Out of 6 (the short patch to the trail) was fast and easy. I cut in at the major trail 100m or so short of 7 because it just seemed like too much of a risk.
{edit} ...to approach 7 from the west by going through all that green.
