1. 17:25 3 +9:41 125% 69.6 10:00 4:28   17:25 3 +9:41 125% What can I say? All kinds of silly stuff going through my head on this leg; I was fiddling with something on my wrist on the trail run; took off at the right place but then wasn't paying close enough attention to where I was. I was looking for a small trail which others have said they couldln't find either. The reentrant that looked to me like what I saw on the map was the wrong one; I wanted the one to the left, on the other side of the hill. Not seeing the flag I wandered away from the flag (first, taking a pit stop which was unavailable near the start/finish) until I noted people on a trail which I identified as the big one 150m+ north of the control and relocated there. Still had a little trouble reading the terrain which was flatter than it appeared from the map.
2. 15:46 1 0% 104.3 30   33:11 3 +7:38 30% Back to big trail, which I followed to the second junction (almost) and turned west. At the junction just past the top of Tea Pond, I headed up the hill to pass through the white between patches of green. Down the other side on the spur just SW which had lots of boulders but no flag; turned right and saw the flag on a boulder on the steep hillside.
3. 7:18 2 +35 9% 104.2   40:29 3 +8:13 25% Saw 2 trail routes to Fawn Pond and decided to do the up and over past the large boulder (to see how big it was).. Went north of Fawn Pond then along the green until I could see the little marsh off to the east (passing through a mapped-as-green patch that wasn't really there).
4. 7:20 3 +1:28 25% 93.2   47:49 3 +9:41 25% Trail partway, then angled down the hill, across the stream, and up the distinct reentrant on the other side, then around the little hill to the stonewall.
5. 13:55 3 +1:56 16% 93.6 1:30   1:01:44 3 +11:37 23% Rather than taking the trails way around (I've done that before -- boring!) I decided to stay closer to the beeline since that showed a lot of medium rather than dark green, and even the dark green wasn't so bad (laurel had grown some in 20 years and was more passable than when first mapped). Took care going down a steep hillside near cliff line.
6. 6:33 3 +1:12 22% 89.1   1:08:17 3 +12:49 23%
7. 5:33 2 +1:17 30% 96.1   1:13:50 3 +14:06 24% 7-8-9-10 was a fun little loop-de-loop; I saw the flag at # 10 while crossing the stone wall just south of 6.
8. 3:27 3 +43 26% 90.2   1:17:17 3 +14:49 24%
9. 4:10 2 +1:03 34% 124.1   1:21:27 3 +15:52 24%
10. 1:08 3 +18 36% 85.8   1:22:35 3 +16:10 24%
11. 6:52 1 -18 -4% 143.0   1:29:27 2 +15:52 22% Towards # 8 again and along that hillside then headed south and up. Tony M. crossed my path on his way to # 8, and I saw Glen at the punch (he had started, on Red, just a minute behind me), saying "I'm done!" Me too (just had to run in).
12. 4:44 2 +4 1% 100.4 30   1:34:11 2 +15:56 20% Fiddling around to find my way to the trail, then in.
