| 1. | +00:20 | Hesitated leaving trail. Think I went to boulder in the center of the circle, southern boulder, but it was on boulder just to the north. | |||||
| 2. | +00:15 | Wasted some time looking for, and not finding, the indistinct trail. | |||||
| 3. | Went north along stone wall to the trail, since it showed it as white, and straight was green. | ||||||
| 4. | +03:00 | Wasps chased me off my bearing, and I ended up too far left. Slow to relocate. | |||||
| 5. | Took a bit of trail right of the line. | ||||||
| 6. | +09:00 | Went about 250 meters in the wrong direction. Didn't believe it at first, so wasted some time trying to confirm where I was. Finally, got smart and just headed for the main field. Missed it coming in from the trail. | |||||
| 7. | Crossed river left of line. Slow going, but no problems. Should have gone around over the bridge. | ||||||
| 8. | Trails to the right. Spike. | ||||||
| 9. | Straight. Spike. Ali passed me doing an orange course. She leaped over a waist high downed tree. I didn't follow suit. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:15 | Some slight hesitations. | |||||
| 11. | +00:40 | Took second trail option at end, attacking from due north. Didn't see it right away and looked a bit to the left before coming back. | |||||
| 12. | Attacked from where main trail bends around marsh. Spike. | ||||||
| 13. | Headed for open area without seeing the earthbank lines. Don't think it cost any time though. Left the trail at the stone wall, before the open area. A bit to the left coming towards the reentrant. | ||||||
| 14. | +00:20 | A-fib! (Or A-flutter, or whatever.) Heart going about 180 bpm. Walked until it calmed down. Found an OK place to cross the river, though I got one foot wet. Missed reentrant a bit to the left. | |||||
| 15. | I had had enough of crossing that stream, so I headed NW to trail and went around. Spike. | ||||||
| 16. | Trail hopping, but being careful. | ||||||
| 17. | +00:15 | Went a tad too far on the road, but knew exactly where I was and spiked it. | |||||
| 18. | +00:30 | Back to the road and around, but a little trail confusion, and attacking too soon, cost a bit. | |||||
| 19. | +01:00 | Went straight to check out the crossable marsh. Not crossable by my standards, so I popped back out to the open area and went long way around. | |||||
| 20. | Windy trail to road. | ||||||
