1. | I had the poorest first leg and all I had to do was stay on a long trail run and not mess with the green. Even better, I should have run straight at control across field and jumped fence, d'oh. | ||||||
2. | I ran all the way around fencing when I could have run through the first set of fencing. | ||||||
3. | trail run | ||||||
4. | Even though, I ran the S (and wrong) side of marsh, the metric does not think I lost time. | ||||||
5. | trail run then N side of pond | ||||||
6. | This was a tough leg through knee deep water and I didn't expect to have worst leg because I thought many would suffer. However, I did pass w/in 30m of control and didn't see in thick green and then backtracked along pasture. | ||||||
7. | compass run through vegetation | ||||||
8. | tried run through vegetation again but dumped out on trail I should have used anyway. Unless previous races here, there weren't elephant tracks right through final small woods. | ||||||
9. | |||||||
10. | mud was deeper than shoes in pasture | ||||||
11. | I just backtracked and then compass across pastures. | ||||||
12. | |||||||
13. | N along pasture (and what was mapped as trail) and then straight NW to control. | ||||||
14. | very familiar run though wet along a very familiar dead fence | ||||||
15. | |||||||
16. | straight W to trail, then 1 and a half trails then straight S through vegetation and for some reason I expected control on W edge of pine forest but then had to get across final swamp. | ||||||
17. | Frederic caught me half way through leg and I tested my trail run vs his straight run. I wasn't fast enough to have a good leg here but it set me up perfectly for next leg. | ||||||
18. | I was able to run this leg straight at control across all vegetation w/ only Robbie having faster leg. | ||||||
19. | This was a quick leg though I probably should have shot over to easy to follow canal much sooner. | ||||||
20. | I decided on a different route choice, stay on the muddy trails and use no streets though I'm sure every one else did. After making decision, I recalled geocache on route that I might try to visit by memory. I took that 80m detour and didn't see but I'm still glad for the experimental route choice: long soft trail run w/ brain turned off. | ||||||
21. | I backtracked same trails and raced faster than all but Robbie | ||||||
F. | Straight N then sprint trail, boardwalk, trail |
