1. 310m 3:20 3 +34 20% 10:45   310m 3:20 3 +34 20% 10:45 followed crowd - road run to open, then woods, wait turn to punch. (Not in marathon shape, so goal "is to finish").
2. 360m ? -- -- -- --   670m ? -- -- -- -- Followed 2nd pack more W, than NW.
3. 690m 14:06 -- -- -- --   1360m 17:26 -- +2:13 15% 12:49 Never saw option to skip 3 & 4, followed ridge line to trail.
4. 460m 5:11 3 +58 23% 11:16   1820m 22:37 3 +2:54 15% 12:25
5. 520m 9:19 4 +4:35 97% 3:00 17:55   2340m 31:56 4 +7:10 29% 13:38 Lost a lot of time - went left of marsh (slow), then to SW corner of marsh to get up, then ran above steep earth bank S to spend another min looking down earth bank instead of going to depression. Keith Lay led me in.
6. 340m 4:42 4 +25 10% 13:49   2680m 36:38 3 +7:15 25% 13:40 Jogged w/Charlie DeWeese most of way.

8. 440m 5:24 3 +1:15 30% 12:16   3470m 46:01 3 +9:31 26% 13:15
9. 530m 7:45 5 +2:40 52% 14:37   4000m 53:46 3 +12:06 29% 13:26 w/ Charlie & Keith most of the way. 1st look at considering skipping a point. Knowing I would tire or cramp at the end, saving for skips late in the race a main strategy.
10. 490m 5:00 3 +52 21% 10:12   4490m 58:46 3 +12:52 28% 13:05 w/ Charlie & Keith most of way
11. 910m 11:12 4 +1:54 20% 12:18   5400m 1:09:58 3 +14:45 27% 12:57 went out to road to got to 10 (Charlie and Keith skipped 11&12; this choice saved the most distance), S on road, S on trail and in - felt fast enough. On road decided 12 was the 1st one to skip.
12. 810m ? -- -- -- --   6210m ? -- -- -- -- skipped
13. 590m 6:49 -- -- -- --   6800m 1:16:47 -- +16:07 27% 11:17 about to hit the paved bike path (11 to 13) and crossed Charlie's path - so he skipped 11... couldn;t calculate he skipped 12, too. A little cautious whithin 100m (right reentrant?)
14. 220m 3:24 3 +34 20% 15:27   7020m 1:20:11 3 +15:55 25% 11:25
15. 470m 5:41 1 -37 -10% 12:05   7490m 1:25:52 4 +17:47 26% 11:27
16. 540m 7:38 3 +1:28 24% 14:08   8030m 1:33:30 4 +19:15 26% 11:38 Up W to trail; paced counted between obvious reentrants to my left; broad spur easy to see and down to ditch.
17. 450m 5:24 2 +1:20 33% 12:00   8480m 1:38:54 4 +20:35 26% 11:39
18. 160m 2:06 3 +21 20% 13:07   8640m 1:41:00 4 +20:33 26% 11:41
19. 390m 5:27 3 +1:14 29% 13:58   9030m 1:46:27 4 +20:25 24% 11:47 Headed due N, but recognized reentrant junction at bottom and slwoly jogged to 19 - OK.
20. 580m 7:12 4 +2:04 40% 12:24   9610m 1:53:39 4 +22:29 25% 11:49 N to trail, legs starting to rebel and jogged slower and walked some.
21. 920m 14:14 5 +5:05 56% 15:28   10530m 2:07:53 4 +27:34 27% 12:08 Beginning of the end - out to paved bike path (west) and jogged and walked a lot more. Got off pavement about 200m S of control - had to walk, sat down on log by marker *about a minute before punching in. rest helped with cramping calves.
22. 550m ? -- -- -- --   11080m ? -- -- -- -- skipped
23. 620m 7:17 -- -- -- --   11700m 2:15:10 -- +30:32 29% 11:33 Walking NE out of 21, got to paved trail again, then decided to skip 22. Can't run, so would rather deal with the crapping looking green from 23-24. Met Charlie again at water stop.
24. 410m 8:33 4 +3:23 65% 20:51   12110m 2:23:43 4 +33:18 30% 11:52 N up stream about 100m, then bailed out E to trail. Tight saplings 200m to get to trail. Jogged some, walked some.
25. 770m 11:18 4 +5:33 97% 2:00 14:40   12880m 2:35:01 4 +38:51 33% 12:02 Due W to "ski" trail (jogged most of this - "it's about over"). Had to walk some on campground road, totally turned off brain leaving pavement and back into woods. Was I in a bowl or on a spur? About 2 min just going slow (brain and feet)
26. 390m 4:21 4 +1:28 51% 11:09   13270m 2:39:22 4 +40:19 34% 12:00 not concentrating on pace counting - just went to trail junction at the west end to attack.
27. 300m 5:13 5 +1:22 35% 17:23   13570m 2:44:35 4 +41:41 34% 12:07 Wasn't really sure I was on the right spur going up (it was right); walked by last control (Dick Neuburger) had pointed it out in the briefing, turned around after 30m & punched. Orienteered for 24 controls, didn't the last 4.
28. 100m 58 5 +28 93% 9:40   13670m 2:45:33 4 +42:09 34% 12:06 Orlyn and Charlie said "hi" at the finish. Pleased with overall result. The cramping did not get out of control and only two real bobbles.
