1. | Forgot my compass, realized it after punching start, but decided not to go get it. Couldn't find the start triangle until I had already run a ways past it. | ||||||
2. | No compass - started too far left. | ||||||
3. | No compass - started too far right. | ||||||
4. | First stone wall was higher than it looked - almost didn't make the top. | ||||||
5. | Saw the gap in the green (John F passed me early on this leg) | ||||||
6. | Knew to come back on the other side of the triangle stone wall. | ||||||
7. | Crossed the wall just left of the corner (someone tried to fake me out and I was headed right, at first), then to the field. | ||||||
8. | Knew where this first spectator control was; stole a compass from Patty on the way into it. | ||||||
9. | |||||||
10. | |||||||
11. | |||||||
12. | |||||||
13. | Felt like I took a good shortcut here, jumping over some PVC. | ||||||
14. | |||||||
15. | Foolishly thought there was a route choice on this leg, wasted some time. | ||||||
16. | Drifted too far right, slightly messing up the 2nd spectator control. | ||||||
17. | No wheels for the fans as I passed the start area. Looked at my watch to see if I had a shot at Nate, but I guess it hadn't started. | ||||||
18. | Passed George on this stretch, maybe Pete, too. | ||||||
19. | Too much hesitation on a direction choice (pressure with 2 guys behind me). | ||||||
20. | Slow going around the buildings, then ran 270+ degrees around to get the flag. | ||||||
21. | This one was very fun! | ||||||
22. | Not enough left to make a strong run. | ||||||
F. | Jumped from too far away from the wall, almost missed the lower railing on my grab. Then revealed my complete lack of grace when vaulting the rail and doing a spastic 360 to recover the landing. Lost to Nate by 5 seconds on this leg. |
