Map "A" = 39:10
started off fine, smallish error on 5 (thank goodness i was checking control codes), and lost a chunk time on 9, just a pit in the middle of a flood plain! saw probably 10 others wandering around so i took that as validation it was hard, kept my calm, and found it. ran w bill_l for the next few controls, but he pulled ahead with some strong road running.
Map "B" = 23:40
i was already tired but navved really well for this one. took off about 30sec behind Jeff and i believe maybe put some time into him overall, we were together off-and-on throughout. i got ahead of him going south and then used the spillway route to stay ahead, but he caught me on the paved path run in.
Map "Intermediate" = 28:00
took off chasing Jeff on the path. i was really struggling to keep his pace and gradually falling back. he took the around-route to 3 so i went straight at it, punched cleanly, and then next saw him running backwards from 5 saying something about a mis-punch. i didn't understand but stayed on my course. the rest of the controls were good except i felt like puking the entire time. blargh. so glad to see the finish and just about collapsed at Carrie's feet.
no idea on placing since the epunch computer was acting funny, but David ran 1:13ish for all 3 maps, so not too bad for me.
