1. | P | D | P | R | 4 | +00:15 | I saw three people head down the main trail so I took a few steps down the path before flipping over the map. The best route was actually backwards up a new path that led to good open woods run. Misread the clue a little not seeing the flag on the south side (that was start's clue). It was tucked on the SW. |
2. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Didn't try to look for the mtb path and just went straight picking decent spots through the boulder climb | |
3. | P | D | P | 3 | +00:20 | Little slow on the exit through crap. I took the unmapped trail. I could have been faster on the road, or if the trail was mapped I would have hopped off earlier. Good into the flag. | |
4. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Kept good direction using the mtb path for a little and verifying the path junction at the road cross. Straight at it | |
5. | P | P | R | 5 | Road to ballfield. I thought this was a pretty good route with a good attack angle. My exit from the control could have been straighter.. I went due SW to road. Careful on the approach. | ||
6. | P | D | P | 3 | +00:15 | Took the road, but trail but have been marginally faster. Hesitant coming in from telephone post. | |
7. | P | D | P | R | 4 | Left the trail at the stream. A little confusing but I had pretty good distance judgement. | |
8. | P | D | P | R | 4 | +00:15 | Old railroad bed to contour around well. Dropped down to unmarked path to cross powerline (which was overgrown anyways)-not necessary. Hesitated.. bottom of cave... it's inside! Lost 95 sec to Sam.. he is strong on woods runs. |
9. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Left route using unmapped path from #3. Slowed down to come in 90 degrees of slight bend/form line in trail. Walked in and saw it in very low visibility. | |
10. | P | D | P | 3 | Planned to take lower trail with earlier read ahead, but switched to upper trail coming out of 9 and diagonal down open woods. Ended up at the circle in path and came in. | ||
11. | P | D | P | R | 4 | +00:15 | Right route go around. To nature center through parking lot up small path east side of lot on road. Hesitated 2-3 times on path with a few "false hilltops". Saw the rock wall and actually saw the flag from the trail. I think this route would have been fastest but I hesitated early on. |
12. | P | D | P | R | 1 | trail run | |
F. | +00:05 | okay.. I need to sprint in faster next time. |
