| 1. | +00:20 | I missed going over the top of the spur and ended up one reentrant too high. Due to the circle overprint, this wasn't so visible on the map. I got confused but ran downhill a bit and eventually found it. | |||||
| 2. | I ran straight over and counted reentrants to spike it. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:10 | Dog-legging back somewhat, I counted reentrants before leaving the main reentrant again. I lost a bit of contact along the way and slowed but eventually recognized a distinct narrow and long reentrant. This helped me be on track the rest of the way. | |||||
| 4. | I ran high on the spur, then dropped-in before the control. | ||||||
| 5. | Straight? | ||||||
| 6. | Straight across the first large reentrant; somewhat slowly. I used the top of the next spur but moved to the right of it when the green got worse. At the trail, I counted large reentrants, then cut in to use the trail briefly--the trail bends were incorrect on the map. but it was easy enough to drop into the control early. | ||||||
| 7. | Straight but a little left to get around some green. | ||||||
| 8. | Straight but I found myself one reentrant to the right. | ||||||
| 9. | Dog-legging back, I kept straightish. At the end, I hadn't picked-up on the reentrant being split until I saw it in the forest. I basically hit it. | ||||||
| 10. | I went straightish at it over the hills. I had started to overshoot by being left of the control but relocated and spiked it. | ||||||
| 11. | +00:20 | I went straight at it but chickened out. I backed-up to verify that the control was not in an earlier reentrant, the went on to spike the rest of it. | |||||
| 12. | Straight toward the road intersection (right of straight), the down the dirt road to the bend. Going back in the forest, I saw another control and did not get distracted. I kept going and saw the control about 100m away. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:15 | I was a little slow because I used the field when I ran into some green along the way--the field was high and I also had to poke past the edge of the forest then too. | |||||
| 14. | I ran to the power line ride, then used trails a bit. | ||||||
| 15. | A slow hesitant start, then running harder to the finish. | ||||||
| F. | Hesitant to start but I ran hard finishing up. |
