Kiki's comments - by leg
| 1. | Time Lost: 02:00 | In typical first control fashion, took a stupid route (more or less straight through all the crap). |
| 2. | Aimed a little right and hit it, though hesitant. | |
| 3. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Fast trail route, but then ended up right of the control. Where's the road that I heard? Map ends awfully close to control location... |
| 4. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Tried to ignore all the confusing trails through the semi-open stuff in the middle, with moderate success. Then proceeded to jump into a ditch before the stream with the control. |
| 5. | Successfully kept full concentration and read map while running...on a rather simple leg. | |
| 6. | For the first time on the map actually picked off rock features! | |
| 7. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Contoured through the open-ish stuff to the trail and through the open batch at the other end. Fence would probably have worked better. Sad thing is, spent a long time thinking! |
| 8. | Time Lost: 06:00 | Just ran to the "corner of the hill" and made it there, just way too low. That's a not a good strategy. Ran back and forth before going up, crossing over a turtle carcass twice (the same one!) |
| 9. | Time Lost: 00:30 | Again picked off small features, but didn't use them to move lower on the hill. So a little high, but not much. |
| 10. | Time Lost: 02:00 | Very "creative" route choice here, I was fed up with green terrain. Dropped down to the shore of the lack and then back up a stream to the open. Almost dropped down a cliff to get there (I was desperate). |
| 11. | Followed fence-line, and it was slow going. No better choice, except to move faster. ;-) | |
| 12. | No problems, though some luck here with all the bends in the stream. | |
| 13. | Time Lost: 01:00 | Tore out of the last leg to get away from the crowd, successfully, then ended up to the right of the control, pulled away by the track. No problem once I moved over. |
| 14. | Jumped over towards the fenceline near the "white", but fell way short. No biggie. | |
| 15. | Straightforward, mostly just a bit of a climb. | |
| 16. | This is where I realized that the map was 1:10000, not 1:7500 like yesterday... | |
| 17. | Why did this take so long? I have no idea. | |
| 18. | Felt better than yesterday, but still sloppy. Need to learn better management of scraggly texas terrain. |
