1. | Cut down the hill to the canal. Dropoff steep and slow. Hit some green. | ||||||
2. | +03:00 | Scale error: used 1:10 scale on compass and stopped short. Looked way too early. | |||||

4. | Starting to pick up here. | ||||||
5. | Contoured, some climb up over shoulder. | ||||||
6. | Spiked. | ||||||
7. | Crowd around this one. | ||||||
8. | Same crowd. | ||||||
9. | Foot hurting. Just jogged along trail, couldn't run with any speed on hard surface. | ||||||
10. | Straight line to water, crossed on submerged log, fell off and got a bit wet. The up to trail and in at trail jct. Down reentrant to control. | ||||||
11. | Straight to trail, then around trail to height of land. Ran out shoulder and looked down on control. | ||||||
12. | +01:00 | S-curve: first right to miss green, then L of line up trail and over ridge. Lost time by going too far R at first. | |||||

14. | Road. Kind of painful here, too. | ||||||
15. | +00:20 | Straight line. Overshot slightly. | |||||
16. | +03:00 | Up road to start of slope and then in to rock. Unfortunately, another slope is hidden under purple slash marks. Hence, turned in too early and detoured 200 m. | |||||
