Gil's comments - by leg
| 1. | Time Lost: 00:05 | Followed John and Vlad. I thought we should have sticked mroe to left but this was my first run with big guns, so, I thought I will follow them and see how it goes. Plus if I was planning to attack them then not on first flag but somewhere in the middle. At least 5 seconds lost on execution |
| 2. | Followed Vlag and John. Everything came up very quick. No complaints. | |
| 3. | Time Lost: 01:00 | I thought we were going out way on right again but since this was first time with John and Vlad for me I was in shaddowing more. We found two extra flags before FINALLY getting our flag. Ok... big-guns are making mistakes like mortals do... From now on I will pay more attention to the map |
| 4. | John and Vlad went right again. I tried to stick to the light more closely then they did to shave some extra running. | |
| 5. | This time I went wide right | |
| 6. | Second group cought up during this leg. We went way to right again | |
| 7. | Since second group cought us I have to fall back to plan B to advance (plan A was to advance by time). However vlad and john seem to be running fast and did not look tired. This is going to be rough... | |
| 8. | Speed was high and almost everyone from second group was starting to pass me. No way to advance on time; John and Vlad look strong still. Shall I quit? | |
| 9. | Not ready to Quit yet. Let's just hang around and see what developrs | |
| 10. | Time Lost: 00:05 | I went more to right then others. |
| 11. | just follow the crowd. Speed is managable but fast enough that there is no way I could speed up if needed for finish | |
| 12. | Another shadowing effort executed briliantly | |
| 13. | Bad news. Eddie from secomnd groupd passes me saying something like "Let's swallow the first group". Good news - I noticed that Vlad's step does not look as confident as it was earlier. | |
| 14. | There is no way I would beat younger, faster and much lighter John at finish and I am not counting on my finish speed to beet vlad. But I have to figure out where to pass vlad now. Does he even expect me to pass him? Almost everyone went right around the finish to next one. I was saving few meters and went through the finish. It was enough to pass Vlad. | |
| 15. | Straight light to next flag. | |
| 16. | Even there was path on right and very close to red line I was running just paralel to the path straight line in order to save few meters | |
| 17. | I could see the bushes where the flag was supposed to be but I did not see the flag from my vintage point. Luckaly for me there were guys in front of me giving some idea where the flag was | |
| 18. | My only convern here was vlad. Since I did not see him behind me I took it very, very easy to the finish. Probably I was slowest finisher not just in heat 1 but I could care less since I am advancing.... |
