1. | 530m | 4:02 | 1 | 0% | 7:36 | 530m | 4:02 | 1 | 0% | 7:36 | Trail to the junction near the bend, then straight down the spur. Slowed a little by downed trees. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2. | 555m | 5:07 | 1 | 0% | 9:13 | 1085m | 9:09 | 1 | 0% | 8:25 | Up the hill alongside ditch. Had planned to cut across rough open, but opted for the short detour N to the trail for easier running. Then off the trail just after passing dark green strip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3. | 740m | 6:11 | 1 | 0% | 8:21 | 1825m | 15:20 | 1 | 0% | 8:24 | Cut through the medium green back to trail, then straight S down the spur from the trail bend, passing by a White control. I wonder if exiting #2 S through the more runnable parts of forest, then cutting across rough open to trail would have been faster? | |||||||||||||||||||||||
4. | 570m | 6:31 | 1 | 0% | 1:00 | 11:25 | 2395m | 21:51 | 1 | 0% | 9:07 | Contoured along to trail, then down the hill to indistinct trail. Got slowed & distracted by thorn vegetation, subsequently drifted right a bit pass the control. Corrected when I recognized the larger reentrant north. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
5. | 1015m | 12:19 | 1 | 0% | 12:08 | 3410m | 34:10 | 1 | 0% | 10:01 | Didn't have a strong plan leaving #4, so headed back to the trail for a better look. Decided then to take a more direct route by going straight uphill, across rough open (it was slowish), then use the 2 long converging ditches as initial attack. Stayed high and contoured around to control. It was a good second half of a leg. Just needed better planning in the beginning. Going E out of #4 straight up the hill instead of S to the trail would've been faster. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
6. | 215m | 1:59 | 1 | 0% | 9:13 | 3625m | 36:09 | 1 | 0% | 9:58 | Checked off ditch/trail crossing, then attacked off the bend. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
7. | 310m | 2:39 | 1 | 0% | 5 | 8:32 | 3935m | 38:48 | 1 | 0% | 9:51 | Rough open's edge looks, uh, rough! So I stayed along the forest's edge to the trail, then up and over the ridge. Spotted the rootstock and rounded it to control. Lost ~5s trying unsuccessfully putting the SI unit back on the control stand. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
8. | 460m | 2:48 | 1 | 0% | 6:05 | 4395m | 41:36 | 1 | 0% | 9:27 | The red line obscured the trail out of #7, so I headed SE toward the bigger trail momentarily. Attacked off the trail/ditch crossing (White control), over the broad ridge, and straight to control. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
9. | 210m | 1:41 | 1 | 0% | 2 | 8:00 | 4605m | 43:17 | 1 | 0% | 9:23 | Down hill alongside stream, crossed road, and contoured along to pit. Only there was a secondary unmapped rocky pit a few meters N of the real one. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
10. | 180m | 1:10 | 1 | 0% | 6:28 | 4785m | 44:27 | 1 | 0% | 9:17 | Straight - up down up down. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11. | 235m | 4:06 | 1 | 0% | 45 | 17:26 | 5020m | 48:33 | 1 | 0% | 9:40 | Tried to aim off right up the hill, then turn left once I hit the ridge top trail. Only when I turned left I couldn't see the pond. Thought perhaps my aiming was truly off, so headed S (right) along trail looking for pond. ~50m later, I recognized the trail bend ahead and open white forest to my left. Turned around back to the pond. I hit the trail where I intended to, I just didn't trust my execution enough to keep going left on trail a bit further. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
