eddie's comments - by leg
| 1. | I chose beer. Went left on a high contour, with Greg Lennon. The crowd was below us to the right. Trashy woods. Came over the spur and punched maybe 5th. | |
| 2. | trail to the right. Dan Quinn was there. After turning up the reentrant saw Jon T coming downhill. | |
| 3. | Met Ted about halfway there coming from the "other" #2. We were leading at that point I think. | |
| 4. | Control was on left side of main reentrant, up quite a ways. Like Nadim said, that side reentrant seemed much stronger than mapped and I was nervous staying high, but the control appeared miraculously. I think I just oversimplified it into a single reentrant when in fact it was two that came together. | |
| 5. | Stayed on this side of river because didn't notice the climb up to the 2 controls on this side. Jon T passes me on the trail. | |
| 6. | With Jon and Dan. | |
| 7. | Apparently Jon and I are both looking for a pit, but the feature is the ditch. I make a loop around but Jon and Dan see it and take off. I am alone, on da' moon. | |
| 8. | Take uphill route on trail then contour. Alone. | |
| 9. | Contour into reentrant. Suprised to see Dan coming up from below me. No sign of Jon. | |
| 10. | To the beerstand with Dan on my heels. Jon is just finishing his drink (hic). | |
| 11. | Beer. | |
| 12. | Out on the road. I catch a last glimpse of Jon at the top of the hill as I'm leaving the beerstand. Through the party in the pavillion. Notice that the band is taking 5 and a Bela Fleck tune that I like is on the CD player. Obviously I'm not paying enough attention to O :) | |
| 13. | Miss just high and go right 30m above the cliff. See Jon headed up the other side as I come into the reentrant. Diana Todd is there too - I presume she started with loop 2. | |
| 14. | Straight. No sign of Jon. | |
| 15. | Took the RH fork. | |
| 16. | As I hit the trail Jon is coming in from the left, having taken the LH fork. We go straight from the trail junction. | |
| 17. | Straight. I swing wider right in the reentrant and punch just ahead of Jon. | |
| 18. | Trail with Jon. | |
| 19. | Beer. | |
| 20. | Jon, being Canadian :), drinks faster and is off maybe 3 seconds ahead of me. | |
| 21. | I take the short grass along the edge of the forest and make up the differential on Jon in the taller grass. We punch almost together. | |
| 22. | Jon takes the left fork, which I also think is better, but I decide to take the right fork just to make it interesting. Spike on bearing. | |
| 23. | Up trail. Jon comes in from the right about 3-5 seconds ahead. | |
| 24. | Jon pulling away. I'm going as hard as I can. | |
| 25. | About 10s behind Jon now. We both go striaght uphill in the taller grass. | |
| 26. | Beer. | |
| 27. | Took a bearing to the tree. Was a little left of the line and feeling tipsy. |
