1. | I went high. I didn't read the map enough on the trail out of the start, and so had to stop halfway to find all the reentrants I needed/used for navigation on the map. | ||||||
2. | |||||||
3. | I ran alongside Sergey Gnatiouk, but he was not on my course. | ||||||
4. | |||||||
5. | I went conservatively wide, avoiding all green and having a rock-solid idea of where I was. Seeing how many people had problems on this leg, I think the 40 or so seconds AP thinks I have lost were well worth it. | ||||||
6. | I went around because I didn't think my skills would be sufficient to nail this smoothly going downhill. I'd have to stop and walk. | ||||||
7. | |||||||
8. | I was quite reactive on this leg, but kept moving. | ||||||
9. | I passed Brendan, who seemed to not be in much hurry. At the end of the leg, I found someone who I didn't know poking around the cliff. | ||||||
10. | |||||||
11. | |||||||
12. | This other runner passed me right at the beginning of the uphill trail run, and I never saw him again. I was doing well on the sidehill until I confused the field of vertical green lines with the major reentrant N of the control, and ran down a steep slope whereas I should have descended more gradually. I don't think this cost me much. | ||||||
13. | |||||||
14. | I initially wanted to go along the major road, but seeing that the woods weren't too green or rocky, changed my mind and continued inside the forest. | ||||||
F. | Some kids and then Chuck Ferguson were in my way on the rocky portion of the run-in. |
