| 5. |
Read map too late Bad map reading Lacked concentration +01:00 | Started heading to 13 uphill, got about 1/3 of the way there then turned downhill towards 5 before the rockflow. Pulled up short twice, then followed Greg Balter in. | |||||
| 6. | (E) Ran trail with Greg, but went farther uphill past the bend to avoid the rockflows. Used spur as catch. Punched with Clem...Greg not far behind. | ||||||
| 7. |
Hesitated | (H) Contoured and hit terrace at edge of steep, ran near edge to next terrace. Told Clem I saw the control, but I was mistaken. Clem ran SW towards Greg near the collier's ruin. I looked N again and saw someone punch! Called back to Clem but he was too far off to hear. | |||||
| 8. |
Did not check features en route Bad distance judgement Disturbed by others Followed others +00:40 | (G) Ran with Andres Revesz? Andres stopped at a junction and was apparently standing right in front of the control. I didn't see it behind him and continued 50m past along the trail then got suspicious and went back. | |||||
| 9. | +00:10 | (I) Pulled up along the trail and Greg, Clem and Chris Gross came by so I jumped in. | |||||
| 10. | (F) Took indistinct path to rocks, then went left past Andres and in. Clem and Greg cut left early and punched a few sec back. | ||||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | Aimed right to avoid rockflow. Then up re-entrant, attacked from terrace on trail. | ||||||
| 13. |
Bad route choice Did not plan ahead +02:00 | Contoured and hit trail too low. Worked uphill to edge of steep, but couldn't sort it out. Headed uphill to relocate and ran into control ROCK! | |||||
| 14. | +01:10 | My punchcard fell off at #13. I got 3 contours downhill before realizing it and had to go back. Hit trail but missed the first 2 junctions and came to the ruin, then followed trails in. | |||||
| 15. | Saw Greg coming up to 14 as I was leaving...picked up the pace. Hit power line at swamp, then left. | ||||||
