Discussion: Kick?

Aren't you going to write about how you valiantly outkicked Hilly? You must have thrown some sharp elbows or else she decided to take it easy on an old goat ;)

Looks like he got sanguiched :)

I wasn't going to mention that! :)

After analyzing results I came to conclusion that Eddie and me got short handed at that race - my map one had absolutely unreadable contour lines on the run - too light and too thin - I had to slow down a lot to comprehend what was printed - I saw Eddie doing the same during part 1 - part 2 was much better - and it shows in results.

As far as Sam and Hill - they had home court advantage and their youth and beauty on their side - The Old Goat was lucky to have a chance to run in their company. Sam outsmarted me on the last long leg, and I had no chance to gain back when it went into a foot race down to finish - she was flying. Hill made a mistake on that long leg and was very disappointed after the race about it - she had a clear lead before that.

Old goats may not be the most beautiful, but they are craftier than many young and beautiful girls!

hear hear!

Right! Joe sets an example for all of us! Very nice!

Had to give the girls some advantage, so I printed the maps at 1:15000 with light contours. Apparently Joe still has good eyes, or he doesn't read contours....

I could not see a contour until number 10. even then I had to be standing still holding the map at arms length.

And that's the rub--obviously not bothering with the contours was a great tactic. Food for thought for the rest of us.
