| 1. | +00:30 | Should have stayed on the trail up to the control, but contoured over through some thick stuff on a steep hill side. Killer hill to start on! Decided to try running without the compass.... | |||||
| 2. | Up and over the spur. Not sure why it took me almost 4 minutes. no compass | ||||||
| 3. | Coming out of 2 was a grunt! Trouble reading the map because of sweat in my eyes. no compass | ||||||
| 4. | no compass | ||||||
| 5. | Took the path. no compass | ||||||
| 6. | +01:30 | Got bogged down a little in the not-so-dry lake bed. There were some impressive erosion pits. Not sure where the water goes. Spent a fair amount of time looking at the map too. Helped a couple of kids who were lost but not far from where they thought they were. Had to get the compass out again to re-orient and get back into the map. Kept it out for the rest of the run. | |||||
| 7. | +08:30 | Mis-hung control. I spiked the mapped location at 8:16. Dropping down from the ridge and taking the re-entrant was a good choice, I think. Open woods for the most part. Good catching feature nearing the control. | |||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. | +00:20 | Saw a coyote coming out of the re-entrant that the control was in. Stayed on the path a little longer than I would have otherwise trying to get a better look. | |||||
| 10. |
Lacked concentration +03:00 | Ran about 150m south past the mapped trail junction. Trail junction was not visible (overgrown). Followed the ridge and dropped right down onto the control. Not 100% certain this control was marked properly on the map, but I didn't spend any time checking while I was there.... | |||||
| 11. | Followed trail and contoured around the spur. | ||||||
