mikeminium
| 1. | fairly clean, trail to bend then N, keeping marsh on the right. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | took a "safe" route hitting the trail heading east, then angling SE and following the ditch S to the control. lost a few seconds over a more direct route. | |||||
| 3. | WSW counting ditches, and a good job of reading terrain. | ||||||
| 4. | SW to road then W thru the open area | ||||||
| 5. | spectator sprint | ||||||
| 6. | from 5, I went straight to #12. At 12, punched while checking the code, realized it didn't match, and stood there for 10 seconds or so of befuddlement before it hit me that I should be at #6 instead. A little hesitant on the recovery going on to 6. | ||||||
| 7. |
Bad route choice +00:30 | long leg... I went east to the parking lot, BNE on bike trail, N on big trail, then NE using marshy open area as guide. I think the western route (which I didn't see then) would have been a lot faster. | |||||
| 8. |
Hesitated +00:10 | SE to trails. hesitated at main trail deciding which way to go. probably wouldn't have made 5 seconds of difference. | |||||
| 9. |
Took a chance Underrated difficulty Could not relocate Not thinking clearly Hesitated +18:00 | disaster. missed the control, missed it again, and again and again. hit #1 after missing it the first time, and was sure I knew where I was and attacked carefully, but that was only the beginning of mis-reading the map and wandering aimlessly in thick green junk. I haven't blown a control this badly in years. | |||||
| 10. | straight and fast. | ||||||
| 11. | NW on main trail, W on indistinct trails. pretty fast leg. | ||||||
| 12. | used the road. | ||||||
| 13. | directly east to road. | ||||||
| F. | sprint! |
