1. 480m 5:43 2 +46 15% 96.8 11:54   480m 5:43 2 +46 15% 11:54 I took it carefully because the leg looks difficult. Seeing the flag and water bottles at 5 helped.
2. 375m 6:26 9 +3:12 99% 50.5 2:59 17:09   855m 12:09 7 +3:58 48% 14:12 About 100 meters north of the control I was unsure. Before the race (actually, after the model) I planned to bail out if I felt unsure. So, I went down the hill a few lines until I could see the field on the other side of the road. From there it was easy to go back to 2. Being sloppy was a good wake up call.
3. 435m 3:30 3 +19 10% 96.0 8:02   1290m 15:39 5 +4:17 38% 12:07 Stuck to the clearings as much as possible -- adding distance but staying out of the rough stuff.
4. 405m 4:24 5 +1:12 38% 84.2 10:51   1695m 20:03 4 +4:34 29% 11:49 Stayed in the clearings again. Once again I gave up some time but avoided some rough running. I saw Tom around the control (I think he punched just ahead of me). I didn't know his start time, but I figured he must have caught me from behind.
5. 615m 6:45 6 +1:22 25% 88.4 10:58   2310m 26:48 4 +5:56 28% 11:36 Sloppy near the circle.
6. 915m 12:38 3 +1:00 9% 96.4 13:48   3225m 39:26 4 +4:03 11% 12:13 Tom was a few steps ahead leaving the control. I drank a cup of water and looked at the leg a couple of times. I went back through the traingle, ran the trail and attacked from below. The control location seemed vague and I wandered a bit within the circle before I saw the flag. Tom was just ahead of me leaving 6 (he went straight).
7. 750m 5:32 2 +10 3% 100.2 7:22   3975m 44:58 4 +1:52 4% 11:18 Tom veered off to the right as we neared 7. I decided he must be M40 (instead of M35). Then I stopped thinking about how old Tom must be and decided I'd better pay attention to the map. I was suprised by how runnable the light green near the control was.
8. 400m 3:21 2 +5 3% 99.3 8:22   4375m 48:19 3 +1:35 3% 11:02 Went straight figuring I would miss the control, hit the trail and come from behind. I kept my eye out for the control and spotted it. Cool -- no need to attack from behind.
9. 315m 2:31 4 +32 27% 91.6 7:59   4690m 50:50 2 +2:07 4% 10:50 On the trail I met some hikers with unleased dogs -- poodles. The poodles barked at me and one jumped on me. I was paying attention to the dogs and not the map. I figured I must be just about due north of the flag (but wasn't sure since I was suffering poodle-induced-stress). I headed into the woods and saw the flag. Afterwards I found out the flag was misplaced.
10. 270m 6:01 3 +41 13% 94.3 22:17   4960m 56:51 1 -27 -1% 11:27 Stopped within about 15 feet of the flag but didn't see it. Everything seemed to fit, but I couldn't see a boulder or flag. I looked aournd and looked at my map. I had no idea what to do -- everything fit. I took two steps forward and saw the flag.
11. 355m 6:23 6 +1:22 27% 79.7 59 17:58   5315m 1:03:14 1 -4:06 -6% 11:53
12. 400m 3:41 2 +14 7% 99.1 9:12   5715m 1:06:55 1 -4:14 -6% 11:42

16. 90m 47 8 +9 24% 85.1 8:42   7875m 1:27:27 1 -5:40 -6% 11:06
