| 1. | Slid off the ridgetop a little early so I could run loose and not worry about missing it. | ||||||
| 2. | +00:10 | Dropped down a bit too quick, but the trail caught me. | |||||
| 3. | Aimed off when going through the light green then ran along the base of the ridge to the control. | ||||||
| 4. | Clean, but about 25 seconds lost leaving #3. As I was heading out I realized that I had expected the control to be in the pit rather than the ditch. I didn't have a clue sheet with me, so I turned around and checked to make sure there was nothing in the pit. | ||||||
| 5. | Ran about 2 contours up after crossing the stream and then waited for the flat part of the spur before turning left to the control. | ||||||
| 6. | Ran a contour up on the SE side of the stream to stay out of the light green. Used the bend in the ditch to relocate. From there I could see the small clearing and from there I could see the control. | ||||||
| 7. | Ran this leg carefully to make sure I wasn't getting on the wrong spur. | ||||||
| 8. | Angled up to where the hill started getting steep and then contoured over to the control. | ||||||
| 9. | Contoured around because my legs were getting really tired. | ||||||
| F. | Wimped out and took the road in. Subsequent tests show that straight was 20-30 seconds faster. |
