1. | 466m | 2:37 | 2 | +1 | 1% | 5:36 | 466m | 2:37 | 2 | +1 | 1% | 5:36 | Good start, clean into the control. | |||||||||||||||||||||
2. | 399m | 3:20 | 2 | +15 | 8% | 8:21 | 865m | 5:57 | 2 | +14 | 4% | 6:52 | Stayed high above the green by the lake. Hit the trail 50m right of the control. | |||||||||||||||||||||
3. | 797m | 5:10 | 1 | -4 | -1% | 6:28 | 1662m | 11:07 | 2 | +10 | 2% | 6:41 | Straight to the tip of the inlet, then straight at the control. Woods were just as fast as the trail. | |||||||||||||||||||||
4. | 842m | 5:56 | 1 | -3 | -1% | 7:02 | 2504m | 17:03 | 2 | +7 | 1% | 6:48 | Safe route using the big spur to the S until I could see the stream junction below the control. Objectively not fastest, but it's an area of the map where staying in contact can be tricky. | |||||||||||||||||||||
5. | 608m | 5:06 | 2 | +9 | 3% | 8:23 | 3112m | 22:09 | 2 | +16 | 1% | 7:07 | Way right to take the trail through the scrub oak, then clipping the tops of the reentrants into the control. | |||||||||||||||||||||
6. | 1624m | 10:34 | 1 | -12 | -2% | 6:30 | 4736m | 32:43 | 2 | +4 | 0% | 6:54 | Yawner leg - trail pretty much the whole way. This might have been the beginning of the end for the legs, although they still felt OK. | |||||||||||||||||||||
7. | 774m | 7:30 | 2 | +54 | 14% | 9:41 | 5510m | 40:13 | 2 | +58 | 2% | 7:17 | Slightly right to make sure I hit the stream where it was crossable. Got quickly up to the right height on the far side and then contoured over. | |||||||||||||||||||||
8. | 862m | 6:47 | 1 | -2:05 | -23% | 7:52 | 6372m | 47:00 | 1 | -1:07 | -2% | 7:22 | Went up a line to miss most of the green. After the powerline went pretty much straight at it, but found the streams at the bottom pretty confusing. Was pretty sure i was on the right one, but sure felt a lot better when I spotted the bag from 50m out. | |||||||||||||||||||||
9. | 1958m | 19:24 | 1 | -1:06 | -5% | 4:00 | 9:54 | 8330m | 1:06:24 | 1 | -2:13 | -3% | 7:58 | Went too far right and ended up pretty close to the gravel road, so I just bailed to the road so I could keep moving fast while I figured out what to do. That worked fine and I picked up the EW trail just S of the camp. Should have stayed on it, but instead cut the corner and got really slowed by the scrub oak. Crap leg made worse by the fact that I was now really overheating. | ||||||||||||||||||||
10. | 847m | 8:22 | 1 | -2:27 | -23% | 9:52 | 9177m | 1:14:46 | 1 | -10:12 | -12% | 8:08 | Ran accurately, but it wasn't really running. Had to walk the climb up to the control. Matt was about 20s ahead of me for most of this leg. | |||||||||||||||||||||
11. | 877m | 5:56 | 1 | 6:45 | 10054m | 1:20:42 | 1 | 0% | 8:01 | Since moving fast was out, I didn't bother with all the trails and just went straight through the camp. Got ahead of Matt and passed Rob just before the control. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12. | 833m | 7:44 | 1 | -48 | -9% | 9:17 | 10887m | 1:28:26 | 1 | -5:04 | -5% | 8:07 | By now the death match was a death march and I just staggered along. Easy nav, but I was hardly moving. | |||||||||||||||||||||
13. | 215m | 1:57 | 1 | -3 | -2% | 9:04 | 11102m | 1:30:23 | 1 | -5:07 | -5% | 8:08 | Was a bit worried about tiptoeing along the top of the waterfall given that my motor control was pretty shot, but couldn't give up on a tough run at this point, so I took the straight route in. |
