1. | 490m | 3:05 | 2 | +38 | 26% | 20 | 6:17 | 490m | 3:05 | 2 | +38 | 26% | 6:17 | I ran across the field at a good pace and could see the control circle area from far off. I wanted to come in from the right where it was more open. I had been reading ahead on the course so I didn't see that the fence extended further than would be opportune to go around. Some other orienteers were stopped too short as well so they drew me off. I eventually went around to the left. | ||||||||||||||||||||
2. | 450m | 4:07 | 2 | +1:11 | 40% | 9:08 | 940m | 7:12 | 2 | +1:49 | 34% | 7:39 | I went north through the narrow rough open and cut through the woods across a little of the deadfall to reach the trail. Last years I had learned not to go straight through and backed out to go around to the left. I stayed on the trail this time and cut left just before the out of bounds area to approach the control from the right, through the deadfall. | |||||||||||||||||||||
3. | 450m | 2:52 | 2 | +48 | 39% | 6:22 | 1390m | 10:04 | 2 | +2:37 | 35% | 7:14 | Leaving #2, I went right of the line to get around the unmapped deadfall. I started feeling odd hear. It was a cross between being out of breath and almost dizzy weak. I don't recall feeling this before; maybe its just that I forgot what it's like to push a bit... I slowed. In this state, I read the contours wrong and started getting too far right. I realized that what I thought was up was really down so I was able to correct quickly and follow the valley to the control. It would have been nice to have remembered my control description holder. I kept having to use the one on the back of the map. | |||||||||||||||||||||
4. | 330m | 3:19 | 2 | +33 | 20% | 10:03 | 1720m | 13:23 | 2 | +3:10 | 31% | 7:46 | I went around to the left to use the open and the trail. After passing the pond, I cut right and headed right there. I could see the control from far away so it was probably harder for Tim to set the control than for me to find it. I don't recall seeing an earthwall. I was thinking it was on a dot knoll but I'm not sure what I saw now. | |||||||||||||||||||||
5. | 140m | 59 | 2 | +14 | 31% | 7:01 | 1860m | 14:22 | 2 | +3:24 | 31% | 7:43 | I aimed a bit to the right and didn't recognize that the rough open was missing from the map until I got close to the forest edge. | |||||||||||||||||||||
6. | 590m | 3:43 | 2 | +13 | 6% | 6:17 | 2450m | 18:05 | 2 | +3:37 | 25% | 7:22 | I ran a bit right to get around some deadfall and emerged in the field. Recognizing this as more missing rough open, I used the vegetation boundary to go to the south corner, then got on the trail. After crossing the second bridge, I cut right and saw it from far off. It seemed nearer than I expected. | |||||||||||||||||||||
7. | 910m | 9:30 | 2 | +2:30 | 36% | 1:30 | 10:26 | 3360m | 27:35 | 2 | +6:07 | 28% | 8:12 | I thought to run the ridge to the trail but decided to chance the forest along a straighter path to it instead. Once on the trail, I was hesitant about the trail bends. At a big recognizable bend, I went straight to chop off a kink in the trail. I must have gotten on something else, perhaps the ridge taking me to #17 but I don't think my compass supported this. I followed what I thought was the trail but it disappeared on me after a bend. I ran rough compass and eventually popped-out in more rough open that wasn't printed on the map. I figured I was too near the power lines so I adjusted my bearing again. In the green woods, it was runnable. I soon relocated at the large gully between #7 and #10. | ||||||||||||||||||||
8. | 290m | 2:14 | 2 | +24 | 22% | 7:42 | 3650m | 29:49 | 2 | +6:31 | 28% | 8:10 | I went straight but could tell that I was getting to the right a bit; pushed by the vegetation. I don't recall crossing a broken stone wall. I adjusted left a bit and found it just before someone else who'd come from the rough open power line cut. | |||||||||||||||||||||
9. | 525m | 3:02 | 2 | +18 | 11% | 5:46 | 4175m | 32:51 | 2 | +6:49 | 26% | 7:52 | I went straightish but was hesitant. | |||||||||||||||||||||
10. | 150m | 52 | 1 | -9 | -15% | 5:46 | 4325m | 33:43 | 2 | +6:40 | 25% | 7:47 | I was hesitant going straight because I expected to be able to see it. | |||||||||||||||||||||
11. | 760m | 5:31 | 1 | -23 | -6% | 7:15 | 5085m | 39:14 | 2 | +6:17 | 19% | 7:42 | I followed the edge of the green to the rough open. Passing the 3 distinct trees, I cut left to follow a narrow line of trees. I stayed just south of it instead of taking a straighter line since the running was easier there--I remember the thorns from the year before. At the east end of the rough open I crossed the streams and cut south to get around unmapped deadfall. I could hear the cars and knew I was too far south when I crossed the next ridge. I followed the stream north a bit to the control. | |||||||||||||||||||||
12. | 220m | 1:49 | 2 | +9 | 9% | 8:15 | 5305m | 41:03 | 2 | +6:26 | 19% | 7:44 | Fairly straight with a slight hesitation or two. | |||||||||||||||||||||
13. | 370m | 2:00 | 2 | +9 | 8% | 5:24 | 5675m | 43:03 | 2 | +6:35 | 18% | 7:35 | Out to the fields and along the trail. I cut in toward the stream at a big reentrant before the control because the area along the banks looked runable. | |||||||||||||||||||||
14. | 415m | 2:30 | 2 | +15 | 11% | 6:01 | 6090m | 45:33 | 2 | +6:50 | 18% | 7:28 | I hopped the swollen stream without getting my first foot wet but my other foot caught the small splash left by the first. I went around the row of trees on the west side. Perhaps going around to the right would have been quicker. | |||||||||||||||||||||
15. | 330m | 2:49 | 2 | +46 | 37% | 30 | 8:32 | 6420m | 48:22 | 2 | +7:36 | 19% | 7:32 | Crossing the field, I kept checking my compass. I took a longer interval to run better then noticed that I was on the wrong bearing. I adjusted left but felt this was wrong--maybe there is an iron deposit here somewhere. Crossing the line of trees and getting over the fence where a tree fell on it, I didn't find the control. I adjusted going north along the stream and found it where I was headed to originally when in the field. | ||||||||||||||||||||
16. | 535m | 3:21 | 2 | +17 | 9% | 6:15 | 6955m | 51:43 | 2 | +7:53 | 18% | 7:26 | I got confused by the field edges and missing rough open. I got too far north but corrected and hit the control well. | |||||||||||||||||||||
17. | 465m | 3:59 | 2 | +42 | 21% | 8:33 | 7420m | 55:42 | 2 | +8:35 | 18% | 7:30 | I ran straightish but slowed a bunch to read the map. I should have planned an easier route sucn as planning to use the trail, ride and broken fence as handrails. I found unmapped rides before the trail crossing but got on the correct one somehow. It lead me to the control. | |||||||||||||||||||||
18. | 620m | 5:11 | 2 | +1:02 | 25% | 8:21 | 8040m | 1:00:53 | 2 | +9:37 | 19% | 7:34 | I hopped the stream a bit much having not planned the route out at the start of the leg. Eventually I went around the ridge on the north side. Going over it would have been quicker. I wasn't sure which side of the stream the control would be and found myself on the wrong side as I followed downward. I used a tree to stay dry. | |||||||||||||||||||||
19. | 160m | 1:12 | 2 | +20 | 38% | 7:30 | 8200m | 1:02:05 | 2 | +9:57 | 19% | 7:34 | I went straight but was hesitant going over the ridge. I noticed that many went out to the road but perhaps they were on another course. | |||||||||||||||||||||
20. | 165m | 46 | 2 | +4 | 10% | 4:38 | 8365m | 1:02:51 | 2 | +10:01 | 19% | 7:30 | I picked up the pace but was worried about pulling something. |
