1. | Tentative, but solid. First A meet leg in over 18 months... | ||||||
2. | Contour... | ||||||
3. | Went down a bit low (near lake), but found it fine. | ||||||
4. | A large clump of (green?) runners going past it and on up the hill | ||||||
5. | NE past ride and south of swamp to trail, then in off the clearing | ||||||
6. | Took road to north and followed a blue runner in | ||||||
7. | Saw it the moment I cleared the reentrant; couldn't believe I lost sight of the guy in front of me until I realized he was on another course. | ||||||
8. | +02:30 | Road around, but cut in low and had to go through thick stuff. First noticeable error | |||||
9. | Downhill following woman I punched with at #8. | ||||||
10. | North of swamp, past hill and spiked it. | ||||||
11. | +11:00 | Left heading too far SW. Crossed little swamp and then climbed hill south of bigger swamp. Descended through cliffs, including dropping compass. Then got confused when I hit the line of cliffs along the north line just east of control. Terrain went down, but I had already descended cliffs? After wandering around too long, I bailed out to the ride, and then it was easy. | |||||
12. | Angry, but careful contouring. | ||||||
13. | +00:15 | Okay, but the hill was high and I stopped too soon. Also neglected to punch because it wasn't my control and lost fifteen seconds before realizing that I read the wrong control description. | |||||
14. | Determined to catch the people I was with at the previous control... | ||||||
