| Day 1 scan of map http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p56/orientaly31... (not sure how to do it so that it isn't that big long link but actually says like scan of map or something like other people do.) OK so sorry this is so long but people did say just post the long notes: Day 1 -1138 points Start to 1 (3:17) Cut the corner up to the other trail. Crossed over the trail and followed the wet reentrant up the hill. Hit the middle of the marsh. Went around the left side and up to my control. 1 to 2 (5:04) ran over the rocky ground to the mandatory crossing point. Then headed up the hill along the vegetation boundary. Was relatively steep so ended up walking most of it which gave me a chance to look at the rest of my course. Checked off the cliffs on my right though on the way up and made sure when I hit the man made rock feature to be careful not to go too far. However took two more steps and I could see it behind the little cliff. 2 to 3 (2:06) Ran right along the edge of the marsh and the woods (more in the marsh) Once I got about half way I could actually see the control. Was sort of hard to see the two creeks in all the moss and grass, so relied more on just running until I hit a stream that was a little bigger and went all the way into the marshy field. 3 to 4 (3:09) Ran right along the river until right before the control. When the river started going to the left around the hill I cut up and over the hill. Almost went to the control just below the top of the hill then looked at the map again and realized that mine was further down the hill. 4 to 5 (2:30) made a parallel error here. Started running along the side of the hill I was already on instead of crossing the marsh and around the other side of the other hill. Realized this relatively quickly and cut over and found the control. I probably lost about a minute or so on this control. 5 to 6 (4:59) Crossed over the reentrant and then down the hill along a path that was dug out by everyone running to the mandatory crossing. Went up and over the deer fence. Then headed off to the right, crossed over three trails and hit the marsh and hill in the middle. Ran down along the hill to the control. 6 to 7 (3:01) Crossed over the marsh and ran along the woods. The clearings were semi hard to see. Ran on the right side of the hill. Hit a little bit to the right of the control so had to run up the reentrant a little bit. 7 to 8 (1:57) Ran right along the trail to the right of the top of the hill. When that dead ended I just kept running to the highest point after that and there was the control. Could have run a bit faster here. 8 to 9 (6:22) Cut straight to the bit trail and crossed through the mandatory crossing. Then down the big hill to the river. Was very steep, so took it pretty slowly. Crossed the river and then headed up the hill to the trail, aiming for the trail junction. There were a few paths carved out on the hill side so picked the one that was closest to where I was going to head and where I thought the junction was and took it. Turned out I was right and it lead me right to the water stop at the junction. Grabbed some water and then headed down the small trail to the hill. 9 to 10 (2:58) Started out heading around the hill but should have gone straight up and a long. May have lost about 30+ seconds here. 10 to 11 (4:00) plan was to run down the left of the hill and along the creek to the trail, across the field/marsh. And then down the wet ditch to the control. 11 to 12 (3:36) Down a path carved out to the first mandatory crossing. Along the trail to the second. Once past the second crossing ran up the trail to the junction, around the right of the small pond to the very shallow reentrant. 12 to 13 (3:56) crossed back to the trail and along to the last mandatory crossing. Ran right along the top of the hill cutting down a little bit. Made sure to stay focused as there were so many people around me to mess me up. Hit the stream and went down that until I saw the cliff with my control. Could have run faster for the first part on the trail. 13 to 14 (0:44) crossed over three cliffs to my control. So many people were coming from all over to my control. 14 to 15 (0:48) You could see the finish going to 13, also dad and I went to the finish before we headed off to the start so I knew exactly where the GO control was it was getting there that was the question. Getting down off the cliff was a challenge. Ended up falling in some bracken though, but felt like I was moving pretty fast. 15 to finish (0:23) Fast sprint into the finish. Passed quite a few people coming in which felt nice. Over all I think I had a great first day. Managed to ignore almost everyone out in the woods which was good. Felt like I had great contact with the map and made only about two small mistakes. Could have run a bit faster in places though. Could have maybe made up about 3 or so mins, but I?m not going to sweat about it as it was a good start to my first multi day international competition. | ||

| rowed in 1 seat in the lloyd hall 8. This was one of the worst rows i have been on in a while. Our coxswan was having us zig-zag all over the river, people wouldn't set up the boat, and ann our coach was not in a good mood so was a little snappy. Still a good workout though. | ||
