1. | Started slowly, tried to get used to the scale. I had to keep convincing myself to keep going. | ||||||
2. | |||||||
3. | +01:00 | Once again fooled by the scale, checked my reentrants very carefully as I progressed to make sure I hadn't passed the control | |||||
4. | Much better with this quick ones. No hesitation. | ||||||
5. | |||||||
6. | Followed the stream all the way to the road (glad I conserved the energy) and then to trail and up the nose around to the control. | ||||||
7. | A little hesitation on route choice here, finally just gunning up (trudging) to the trail across the reentrant. | ||||||
8. | |||||||
9. | Went low around the hill; could have gone higher, I suppose. | ||||||
10. | +00:30 | Spent a while making sure that I really did have to cover all that uphill. Up broad part to trail and down nose in green to control instead of cutting it. | |||||
11. | |||||||
12. | Dropped down into stream and followed it until the big reentrant on the left, then cut up. It was right ahead. | ||||||
13. | +01:00 | Spent way too long making sure I had the right feature. Then went right up the worst part - the middle of the ditch. | |||||
14. | +01:00 | Felt like I couldn't concentrate or decipher the map. Followed trail to pavement and then carefully winded over to control. No mistakes, just a little too deliberate. | |||||
15. | +00:30 | Cut down to the road, but only after I realized that I was headed smack at the OOB area. Oops. | |||||
16. | +00:10 | Went head-to-head versus a hole in the ground. Performed quite the faceplant in front of some spectators on the hill. | |||||
F. | I tried to put a little more vroom in my final sprint this time... |
