bishop22's comments - by leg
| 1. | Time Lost: 00:10 | I picked a poor starting spot, so I had to go around a tree while Nate bolted to the front. I did a face plant on the downhill just before the control, and lost a bit to the pack. |
| 2. | Behind the pack, trying to close the gap. | |
| 3. | Time Lost: 00:10 | In the middle of this leg I had to pause as I lost sight of everyone. At this point I figure out that the "roads" on the map were the very narrow paved paths. This got be back on track and I saw Spike punch as I was approaching. |
| 4. | Time Lost: 00:05 | Ran for the buildings, but hesitated figuring out which was which. |
| 5. | Time Lost: 00:40 | Should have gone to the dirt road right away, because as I angled towards it, I kept getting pushed away from it. Wound up going S from the buildings to hit the road, not noticing that I was basically on the line (my destination was the road instead of the control). |
| 6. | Finally saw JJ ahead of me and Nate behind me (going to the long course control), so it was a race again. | |
| 7. | Nate and Patrick went zipping by me near the map exchange, hot on JJ's tail. My legs were fading. | |
| 8. | I had a great vantage point for the race for second. Couldn't close the gap. | |
| 9. | Even cutting some tangents wasn't able to get me any closer to the pack. | |
| 10. | Nate went to the wrong control first, so I cut his lead in half, but no closer to the others. | |
| 11. | Time Lost: 00:15 | They all disppeared straight, so I tried the left paved path route, but went to the hilltop instead of the saddle |
| 12. | Time Lost: 00:10 | Had to stop and take a bearing, since I had come into the control from the hill, it didn't feel right to U-turn when I thought I was supposed to turn right. |
| 13. | Executed the dirt road option better this time. | |
| 14. | Tried to hustle in... | |
| 15. | ...but legs really didn't have anything. | |
| 16. | Tried to kick it in for the fans, but Nate still had a faster split. |
