| 1. | 190m | 2:47 | 10 | +1:22 | 96% | 61.1 | 1:30 | 14:38 | 190m | 2:47 | 10 | +1:22 | 96% | 14:38 | I figured we'd go south to start-off so I aligned my map that way before starting (upside down and standing on the north side of the map facing south). This did me no good at all as I got confused and almost did a 180. Peggy who was starting minutes behind told me to look at my map again. I corrected, already 50 seconds into the race and tried to go straight but got drawn too far down the hill. Upon seeing the road down below, I turned left and back up. I got there just as Peggy did however she was running Green and was at the wrong control. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 2. | 90m | 1:14 | 6 | +30 | 68% | 78.4 | 13:42 | 280m | 4:01 | 9 | +1:19 | 49% | 14:20 | Knowing our control to be the same (her #1, and my #2), Peggy went on the right side of the rock and I went left, scrambing up to the control. I got there first. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | 200m | 2:30 | 6 | +1:03 | 72% | 68.7 | 12:30 | 480m | 6:31 | 7 | +2:15 | 53% | 13:34 | I stayed high but got too far to the right. I curled around in a J to the left to get there. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. | 180m | 1:36 | 6 | +24 | 33% | 86.1 | 8:53 | 660m | 8:07 | 6 | +2:39 | 48% | 12:17 | I went straight to the trail junction, then ran on bearing to spike it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. | 240m | 2:31 | 6 | +44 | 41% | 81.9 | 10:29 | 900m | 10:38 | 4 | +3:03 | 40% | 11:48 | Just running loosely into the reentrant, then down, I soon saw it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | 350m | 2:44 | 11 | +1:03 | 62% | 67.1 | 30 | 7:48 | 1250m | 13:22 | 8 | +3:10 | 31% | 10:41 | I planned to take the road but didn't read the map correctly or perhaps set a bad bearing. Instead, I hit the trail which took me to the road then ran in on bearing. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 200m | 6:47 | 13 | +5:39 | 499% | 17.9 | 5:00 | 5:08 | 33:55 | 1450m | 20:09 | 11 | +8:43 | 76% | 13:53 | A short hop across the road to the knoll, I was surprised not to see the control when I got there. It was hidden deep in some rocks and I must have just past it. I went on a little, checking the Blue control even though I was fairly sure it was incorrect. Looping back, I circled about, saw others come through and look equally dumbfounded. Finally, I ran back to the road, relocated at the stone wall and ran on bearing almost right to it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 510m | 6:46 | 11 | +3:12 | 90% | 61.2 | 2:00 | 1:11 | 13:16 | 1960m | 26:55 | 11 | +11:00 | 69% | 13:43 | I planned to go straight then use trails. I got off-course and confused the trails. Relocating at the trail junction due south of #8, I again tried to run on memory instead of just looking at the map. I ran to the right side of the knoll and had to J-hook back to the left around to it. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 140m | 1:06 | 6 | +18 | 38% | 74.7 | 7:51 | 2100m | 28:01 | 11 | +10:40 | 61% | 13:20 | Straight but hesitant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 200m | 1:25 | 1 | -1 | -1% | 101.6 | 7:05 | 2300m | 29:26 | 11 | +9:46 | 50% | 12:47 | Just ran straight, keeping a careful eye on the compass. I enjoyed to open area and downhill, despite the rocky ground. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 140m | 2:10 | 9 | +1:22 | 171% | 43.1 | 1:00 | 54 | 15:28 | 2440m | 31:36 | 11 | +11:08 | 54% | 12:57 | Going straight, I got too far right. I didn't check the control description. Upon seeing a control on a root stock, I went more right and down the hill. Getting there and realizing it was incorrect, at least I relocated on the map using the rootstock and could head back up. | ||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 580m | 5:24 | 6 | +1:35 | 41% | 74.4 | 9:18 | 3020m | 37:00 | 10 | +12:43 | 52% | 12:15 | Not going in a straight line, I contoured to the trail, then turned left down the hill to the bend. Cutting over, I then hit the next trail below and followed it right to the junction. Going on bearing down and across the marsh, I came out at trail bend west of the control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 390m | 1:54 | 4 | +19 | 20% | 89.8 | 4:52 | 3410m | 38:54 | 10 | +12:40 | 48% | 11:24 | I just headed to the trail, then right and downward. Because of the circle on the map, I didn't see the trail that I was on until afterward--it look wrong to me so I ran cautiosly. I caught another runner. Upon seeing the parking lot, he went straight down to it while I went left and followed trails there w/o trouble. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 100m | 17 | 3 | +1 | 6% | 96.1 | 1 | 2:50 | 3510m | 39:11 | 10 | +12:39 | 48% | 11:09 | I had trouble putting the Sport Ident in the hole, but ran hard. At least I was +20 minutes faster than last year's Short O' in Cincinnati. | |||||||||||||||||||
