danf's comments - by leg
| 1. | Used the three spurs and the knoll to the right of the purple to navigate. | |
| 2. | Realized this should be a very runnable leg. Used a compass bearing initially, then ran toward the small spur just SW of the control (thinking it WAS the control initially). Spiked it. | |
| 3. | Crossed the first spur and saw the saddle slightly off to the left of my bearing. | |
| 4. | Time Lost: 02:00 | Ran along the ridge as long as I could then took a beeline toward the control. Missed on the rocky area to the left and slowed down. Realizing my mistake, I headed almost due west, and the stream of people coming from that direction confirmed my intuition. Not sure what I should have used as an attackpoint here. Could easily have been worse. |
| 5. | Raced hard to the ridge. Hesitated a little at the top, not sure exactly where along the ridge I was. Saw two knolls on the other side and hit the control well. | |
| 6. | Ignored the early re-entrants and headed for the rocky spur. Hit the correct re-entrant just to the right of the control (and earthbanks). Almost headed to the next re-entrant, then realized my mistake. | |
| 7. | Saw the hills in front of the control almost immediately, so navigation was easy (remembered these hills from last year's orange course). Checked several re-entrants briefly before I found the right one. | |
| 8. | Time Lost: 02:00 | Lost the race right here (I had actually been winning, wow!). Couldn't see the spur/knoll from a distance so I just used a bearing. Once I got close, I went right past the knoll without seeing it (used the start flag to navigate, but not well enough apparently). Overshot the control by 100m, realized I was too close to the road, turned around and saw it. |
