| 1. | 200m | 4:25 | 1 | -1:23 | -24% | 125.0 | 22:05 | 200m | 4:25 | 1 | -1:23 | -24% | 22:05 | Finished the master maps in 3 min. Went around on the paths to play it safe given it was the first control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | 600m | 2:51 | 2 | +16 | 10% | 97.7 | 4:45 | 800m | 7:16 | 1 | -1:07 | -13% | 9:05 | Flat out run. Went left of the thicket so as to approach the reentrant from the bottom. Turned out to be the better option. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | 750m | 8:13 | 4 | +3:51 | 88% | 59.8 | 3:30 | 3:24 | 10:57 | 1550m | 15:29 | 3 | +2:44 | 21% | 9:59 | Map error here. The control was a lot closer (100m instead of 300) from the bath bend which was my attack point. I think it's the path that has changed in the last 10 years, and not the embankment that's in the wrong place. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 4. | 430m | 3:32 | 3 | +11 | 5% | 97.8 | 15 | 8:13 | 1980m | 19:01 | 3 | +2:47 | 17% | 9:36 | Went a bit too far right to start with, was heading for the nearby chalet before I corrected. Otherwise straight in. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 5. | 180m | 1:23 | 1 | -20 | -19% | 134.5 | 7:41 | 2160m | 20:24 | 3 | +1:17 | 7% | 9:26 | Left the path system early, taking a tiger line from the first path bend to the chalet and in from that side. Worked out perfectly. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | 100m | 49 | 1 | -14 | -22% | 134.7 | 8:10 | 2260m | 21:13 | 3 | +1:03 | 5% | 9:23 | Took a slightly right line of centre. Was aiming off on the dams lower on the slope, but saw the control by suprise early. I was still expecting to go another 20m or so. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 760m | 5:20 | 3 | +28 | 10% | 95.7 | 7:01 | 3020m | 26:33 | 3 | +33 | 2% | 8:47 | Pushed the leg hard and found a nice game track leading from the saddle in the perfect direction for #7. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 1050m | 6:49 | 2 | +26 | 7% | 101.6 | 6:29 | 4070m | 33:22 | 2 | +55 | 3% | 8:11 | Returned via the game track to the saddle and the ran road all the way to #8, attacking it from the open ground on the right. Pushed hard. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 140m | 51 | 1 | 0% | 102.0 | 6:04 | 4210m | 34:13 | 2 | +40 | 2% | 8:07 | Tiger line on a bearing. Saw significant tree from a short distance off - spot on. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 180m | 1:25 | 2 | +3 | 4% | 100.4 | 10 | 7:52 | 4390m | 35:38 | 2 | +43 | 2% | 8:07 | Ran road, but probably left it for the boulder a few metres too late. Could have gone straighter. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 480m | 2:35 | 1 | -25 | -14% | 129.7 | 5:22 | 4870m | 38:13 | 2 | +33 | 1% | 7:50 | Crossed the first bushy section slightly left of the connection line... just picking up game tracks through the bush. Then straight down path to chalets and control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 390m | 2:01 | 3 | +21 | 21% | 92.6 | 5:10 | 5260m | 40:14 | 2 | +39 | 2% | 7:38 | Straight line. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 400m | 3:20 | 2 | +18 | 10% | 98.5 | 8:20 | 5660m | 43:34 | 2 | +17 | 1% | 7:41 | Straight line once again. Could have pushed harder, but used the leg to study the intracate section coming up. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 380m | 4:52 | 4 | +33 | 13% | 92.2 | 30 | 12:48 | 6040m | 48:26 | 2 | +23 | 1% | 8:01 | Only 1 route choice... the road. Searched for the control too low and too far... had an inkling I was low / far, but finished double checking before heading up higher on the slope. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | 90m | 1:00 | 1 | -19 | -24% | 123.3 | 11:06 | 6130m | 49:26 | 2 | +4 | 0% | 8:03 | Straight in... ran leg well. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 220m | 1:41 | 1 | -35 | -26% | 138.0 | 7:39 | 6350m | 51:07 | 1 | -31 | -1% | 8:02 | Straight line, ran hard, trying to pick up some mega features to navigate on. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 120m | 2:00 | 1 | -3 | -2% | 102.5 | 16:40 | 6470m | 53:07 | 1 | -49 | -2% | 8:12 | Left of cliff, no problems. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | 250m | 2:33 | 2 | +2 | 1% | 102.2 | 10:12 | 6720m | 55:40 | 1 | -1:01 | -2% | 8:17 | Straight line again. Saw feature from a while away. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 19. | 190m | 3:09 | 1 | -14 | -7% | 105.1 | 16:34 | 6910m | 58:49 | 1 | -1:16 | -2% | 8:30 | Between cliffs and straight in. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 20. | 470m | 13:51 | 4 | +7:44 | 126% | 50.3 | 11:00 | 7:00 | 29:28 | 7380m | 1:12:40 | 3 | +5:33 | 8% | 9:50 | Something very wrong here. Went very hard in a straight line. Got to the area in just under 3 mins, then spent the next 10 searching for the control. Was about to give up when fellow competitor called me in. I think the control was on the wrong mega-boulder, plus the control description was inaccurate... the control was not hung on the E side of the boulder. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 21. | 150m | 2:34 | 1 | 0% | 104.3 | 45 | 17:06 | 7530m | 1:15:14 | 3 | +4:44 | 7% | 9:59 | Still fuming, so I stuffed this one up. I had pre-read control description, but forgot description during my 11 min hunt. I didn't double check again and thus was looking on the wrong side of the boulder. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 22. | 290m | 2:21 | 1 | -13 | -8% | 112.3 | 8:06 | 7820m | 1:17:35 | 3 | +4:31 | 6% | 9:55 | Things getting better again. Ran next to fence, straight in. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 23. | 330m | 3:02 | 2 | +12 | 7% | 100.4 | 9:11 | 8150m | 1:20:37 | 3 | +4:17 | 6% | 9:53 | As straight as possible to bottom of gully, then up it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 24. | 150m | 2:18 | 2 | +4 | 3% | 102.9 | 10 | 15:20 | 8300m | 1:22:55 | 3 | +3:49 | 5% | 9:59 | Ended up going slightly too far left and hitting road a bit early. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 25. | 770m | 5:05 | 1 | -25 | -8% | 106.4 | 6:36 | 9070m | 1:28:00 | 3 | +2:24 | 3% | 9:42 | Ran leg hard, straight line / contouring. Didn't look at detail at all until I got into general area where I started navigating more finer. Spot on. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 26. | 80m | 1:42 | 2 | +11 | 12% | 99.7 | 10 | 21:15 | 9150m | 1:29:42 | 3 | +2:33 | 3% | 9:48 | Tricky leg. I played safe and navigated to the nearest large boulder before attempting a go at the control. Hit it okayish. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 27. | 240m | 1:40 | 2 | +11 | 12% | 153.7 | 6:56 | 9390m | 1:31:22 | 2 | +2:44 | 3% | 9:43 | Straight line, could see Sig Tree from a while away. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 28. | 90m | 1:06 | 3 | +10 | 18% | 90.4 | 10 | 12:13 | 9480m | 1:32:28 | 2 | +1:53 | 2% | 9:45 | Back in the tricky area and for the first time, got caught on not pre-reading my map. Exited #27 wrong way before correcting. Otherwise fine. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 29. | 260m | 2:10 | 4 | +13 | 11% | 92.3 | 8:20 | 9740m | 1:34:38 | 2 | +2:03 | 2% | 9:42 | Straight line and hard. Didn't read map detail at all until circle. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 30. | 100m | 51 | 1 | -6 | -11% | 112.4 | 8:30 | 9840m | 1:35:29 | 2 | +1:57 | 2% | 9:42 | Went round the top side of the boulder to #30. Faster I think as I didn't loose any height. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 31. | 150m | 37 | 3 | +8 | 28% | 86.5 | 4:06 | 9990m | 1:36:06 | 1 | -1:05 | -1% | 9:37 | Sprint finish... not too bad for a change. | ||||||||||||||||||||
