| 8. | 617m | 6:44 | 1 | 0% | 10:54 | 3667m | 31:16 | 1 | 0% | 8:31 | ... and on this one... | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 615m | 6:29 | 1 | 0% | 10:32 | 4282m | 37:45 | 1 | 0% | 8:48 | ... and on this one. As I was coming in, a Serbian guy came in from below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 278m | 6:43 | 1 | 0% | 3:10 | 24:09 | 4560m | 44:28 | 1 | 0% | 9:45 | The Serb left towards the north. I thought he'd be stuck in the green, as it looked medium green on the map. It was only later when I saw the 1:10,000 offset-printed maps that everyone else used, that I realize it really was light green and not medium! To go through the green meant saving climb and having a better attack point. I went around, meaning climbing (at a pretty good HR) and then coming down without a distinct attack point. The lack of attack points lead to me exploring three other reentrants before locating mine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 541m | 5:17 | 1 | 0% | 9:45 | 5101m | 49:45 | 1 | 0% | 9:45 | Started to start to fade... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| 16. | 721m | 4:44 | 1 | 0% | 6:33 | 7506m | 1:12:24 | 1 | 0% | 9:38 | Crossing the road was about the half-way point in distance. The rest of the course looked flat, however, with two long trail legs; I thought there was a chance it would go faster... how wrong... | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 133m | 1:03 | 1 | 0% | 7:53 | 7639m | 1:13:27 | 1 | 0% | 9:36 | Dropped the camelback at the water point—though I'd drunk enough to get me through... | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The descriptions weren't particularly exacting to begin with, but here it just sucked. "Spur" with a reentrant junction circled, and the control being at the very possible top of the spur. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| 22. | 1592m | 13:08 | 1 | 0% | 8:14 | 10660m | 1:40:43 | 1 | 0% | 9:26 | Tried to prod myself into running on the trails. Actually slowed to a walk a few times but mostly ran. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| 25. | 1521m | 14:39 | 1 | 0% | 9:37 | 12957m | 2:01:34 | 1 | 0% | 9:22 | As I was running on the trail right after #24, towards the edge of the young firs, Matti-Pekka of Espoo came along. "Feels like Tour de France." "Sure does, but no water." "Want some?" Matti-Pekka was so graceful to stop and let me drink from one of two miniature Silva bottles he had. I tried running for as long as I had him in sight, but slowed down to a walk on the E–W road. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
