| 1. |
Did not plan ahead | Wasn't in great contact but saw Janet up ahead. Went up the main trail then just over the ridges. |
| 2. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Didn't think of this leg as an error but looking at other's splits, looks like a lost some time. I was hesitating a lot, trying to keep in contact. |
| 3. | Shot for the pond. | |
| 4. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Past 10 along the way and used the stone wall beyond it as an attack. Saw Jim C at 10 and talked to him for 1/2 a minute. He wasn't having a good run. Caught up to Charlie near 4. |
| 5. | Straight across trail and rocky reentrant. Charlie in view all the way with Rick coming up behind. | |
| 6. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Tried to go straight at it but ended up a little low. |
| 7. | Pretty much straight at it using the swamp and reentrant as an attack. Lots more water than indicated and got slowed down by it all. | |
| 8. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Planned to head north to trail and run the trail all the way but veered off a little east, passing 11. Then got on the trail and ran it around. |
| 9. |
No attack point Time Lost: 00:45 | Ran around on the big trail but stupidly came off the trail without paying attention to where I was--there was a cliff I could have used as an easy attack. Realized I came off too soon and ran ahead and found it. |
| 10. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Ran around on the trail. Wasn't in good contact when I got near the control and stopped short. Charlie led the way into the control. |
| 11. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 00:30 | Couldn't find the trail coming out of 10 and had trouble figuring out the map in this complicated area. Probably should have just chased Charlie. |
| 12. | Straight at it, tracking hills and cliffs and low areas. | |
| 13. | Followed indistinct path. | |
