Not thinking clearly Disturbed by others | Lost concentration trying to eat power gel at 8... then very sloppy starting off this leg. |

Not thinking clearly Lacked concentration Hesitated Followed by others | Still sloppy at start (confused by a trail?!), much better after leaving the trail. Back in front of the pack. |

Bad route choice Did not plan ahead Tired Followed by others Time Lost: 02:00 | BAD route choice due to only glancing at the map and deciding without enough consideration. Should have contoured, there would have been plenty of gaps in the rocks. Executed route fine, but it was not ideal. Sorry Erin and Nadim - follow Pam next time! |

Tired | Slow and tired. |

Tired | A little trashy, but mostly downhill. |
| 16. | Downhill was so fast, still glad I didn't skip 15 or 16. | |

| 18. | Skipped this one. It did cut a lot of distance, though not climb. Also was a mental boost near the end to still have the skip left. | |
| 19. |
Tired | Told Nadim to go ahead. Told Erin to go ahead too, but she wasn't very obedient. |
| 20. | Okay, may as well try to stay ahead of Erin this year! Flip flop from 2003 results. Was she just being nice, or does she need to train more? | |
