Quickroute
We reran the 2010 Team Trials Red Middle at Rockhouse. I started first, and had some trouble choosing intelligent routes through the green. I messed up six by focusing too much on the (extra) marsh south of the mapped marsh and not paying enough attention to the contours. Brendan, who started three or four minutes behind me, passed me before 6. I picked up speed to 7, then took a different route to 8. I had a safe attack, but when I saw him below me, I aborted and followed him; apparently we then went to a location that was quite far from 8. Yay navigation. Nine was confusing because we had come from not 8, so we spent a bit of time standing around trying to make sense of things. I took the lead leaving 10, and held it until I chose a suboptimal route to 13. Brendan put on some speed leaving 13, and was almost out of sight when I hit 16. I didn't see him after that until the finish.

Quickroute.
I designed the afternoon's exercise at Surebridge. I have always found the terrain difficult, so I started with a line-O to really pay attention to technical details. I drew the line-O by hand, so everyone's was slightly different.
The second part of the exercise was supposed to be a set of short/long pairs of legs. The idea was to plan your route for the long leg while running the short leg, then concentrate on clean execution of that route. With the substantial technical detail of Surebridge, and the dumbness and difficulty of some of the short legs I set, it would have been better to plan routes in advance. The exercise wasn't actually about route choice so much as it was about executing long, tricky legs well. I need to think about ways of refining this exercise.
I ran ahead to hang streamers, and it turns out that I was in the wrong spot for 2. Oops. Leg 3-4 was unquestionably the highlight of this outing; that ridge is gorgeous. We parked up at Tiorati Circle, so we bailed after 6.
