randy's comments - by leg
| 1. | trails, off junct | |
| 2. | Time Lost: 01:00 | did not see first n/s trail. Never saw rocks either. Came in the backdoor off second n/s trail. |
| 3. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Decided just to head for the lake and attack. Hit those contour features too far north. Should navigate more carefully. Worrying only about running, which was the goal. |
| 4. | Go to the spur. Tenative due to poor viz. Ignored all trails -- had enough of unmapped trails yesterday, game plan today was to block them out | |
| 5. | Tenative again. Hit another unmapped trail, but was it before or after the mapped one. | |
| 6. | Finally a clean leg at a reasonable pace ... | |
| 7. | ... ditto | |
| 8. |
Did not like map Time Lost: 01:30 | off 4 way junct. Considered the safe attack off the junct half a contour off, but I'm agressive. Hit an unmapped or covered by circle pit-like feature in the circle, which was streamered. Had to treasure hunt in the thick stuff. A little miffed because either the map, or description didn't seem right. |

| 10. | Here's where lack of training hurts. Thru the green rather than around near the end of the leg. Should be mapped medium IMHO ... | |

Bad route choice Time Lost: 02:00 | I didn't even see the road run! Rust never sleeps. Trail, thru green, other road, then trail. Attack from this trail worse as there is no white woods to speak of ... |

Bad map reading Time Lost: 00:25 | Boomed right. Think there is an extra contour feature. What's a rootstock, and what's a dot knoll. |
| 15. | Picked up trail. Is there another unmapped trail in there? | |
| 16. | Time Lost: 00:15 | Got on the wrong trail but quick relocation. Is there a trail on the map, but not in the terrain here? |
| 17. | Took the left route, which involves an extra 1.5 contours of climb ... | |
| 18. | Another sloppy race. But I was concentrating on running more than usual. Best run at this place, actually, which usually gives me fits ... |
