1. | +00:10 | Attacked down the spur via the small hill on the edge of the circle, but I hesitated somewhat on the route. | |||||
2. | +00:30 | I executed my route fine, but I was somewhat confused by the marsh halfway on the route. | |||||
3. | Clean, attacked via the pacman hill. | ||||||
4. | A fast leg; I ran down the spur cleanly. | ||||||
5. | +01:00 | I passed the house-sized boulder, then drifted too far to the left, overshooting my attack. I hadn't read the detail clearly enough near the circle. | |||||
6. | Cleanish, but slow. | ||||||
7. | +00:20 | I made a parallel error and entered the reentrant just to the east of the control before realizing my mistake. | |||||
8. | +02:15 | I didn't fully understand my error at this control until I checked my garmin track; I drifted far too the south (bad compass?), checking out the hill halfway to 9 before doubling back to the control. | |||||
9. | Clean, over the hill down into the reentrant. | ||||||
10. | I aimed to attack off the long pond halfway to 10, but I probably just should have gone straight. | ||||||
11. | +01:20 | I hit the green marsh as planned, but then drifted too far to the left past the control before looking up behind me and seeing it. I hadn't read the map detail sufficiently. | |||||
12. | Clean sidehill attack. | ||||||
13. | +02:30 | The circles for 12 and 3 almost touched, and I ran to the flag at 3 first before noticing the lack of a '1'. I doubled back through 12 and really struggled reading the detail and myriad hilltops near 13. I stumbled on the control almost by accident, helped by Ethan Childs. | |||||
14. | Straight and fast, unwisely motivated by Ethan's presence. The control was nestled against a lake, so it was very safe. | ||||||
15. | +00:20 | Attacked via the pond, but I was too high and saw the control down and to my left. | |||||
16. | +02:30 | A rough control - I ran up the reentrant, but didn't sufficiently interpret the contours near 16, and I was too low. I stumbled around a bit before going south and relocating off a marsh. On the reattack, I was clean. | |||||
17. | Straight and fast. | ||||||
18. | Clean. Giovanni was nearby. | ||||||
19. | +00:20 | I missed a bit left, though I don't think I had a good attackpoint (in hindsight, I would use the reentrant just W of the control). | |||||
20. | Attacked via the boulder cluster. Clean. | ||||||
21. | +00:40 | Ran into the circle, then stopped and hesitated 5 m to the west of the control to try to make sense of the boulders. I figured things out and punched. | |||||
22. | I struggled through the green; I don't think running around made that much sense, but surely there was a faster way than that which I took - as straight as I could through the veg. | ||||||
23. | Straight. | ||||||
24. | +00:30 | Around the left of the hill with a boulder on top, past the triple boulder knoll, across the reentrant and down into the control. Slow to read the map; I didn't have a good plan when I started. | |||||
25. | Straight via the boulder line; very clear. | ||||||
26. | +00:20 | I don't have a good reason for being so slow on this leg, except the features were abruptly more subtle than they had been on the course, and I hesitated. I used the boulders near the line, and was more right than I had planned. Nevertheless, I was clean into the circle. | |||||
27. | Straight to the top of the hill. Very straightforward. Noticed Lori nearby. | ||||||
28. | Motivated by seeing someone else (Lori), I pushed hard down through some veg to 28. Clean. | ||||||
29. | +00:15 | I attacked via the spur, though I hesitated a little making sense of the various knolls and knoll-like boulder clusters. Clean. | |||||
30. | Attacked via the saddle on the edge of the control circle. Clean. | ||||||
31. | Attacked via the huge boulder, over the hill and into the knoll. Clean. | ||||||
32. | Attacked via the reentrant and pair of boulders. | ||||||
33. | Straightish. | ||||||
34. | Via the pond to my right; straight. | ||||||
35. | Straight. | ||||||
F. | Noticed a cluster of manz at the finish; I used them as my attackpoint. |
