| O - competition (Blue Hills Traverse) 2:42:00 [4]14 km (11:34 / km) | |
| |
| Fairly deliberate pace throughout. Felt ok, although not fast enough on the hills. Made a couple weak route choices, which cost 5 minutes each. Worst was #23, where I contoured around the hillside and got caught in the unmapped rock faces. Really frustrated at the time lost here. Should have bailed down to the road. |
