| 1. | Wanted to run hard and have a quick time today. Ran hard down the road and was out of breath by the end of the parking lot. | ||||||
| 2. | Straightish. Attacked from trail junction. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:30 | Up the indistinct trail through the green. Trail was quite good. Down trail through green/white woods area. Across streams. Paused at the first re-entrant. Contours are hard to see on the map and I suspect I didn't see the first one which is what confused me. | |||||
| 4. | Crossed early and ran along light green on far side of river. | ||||||
| 5. | Started high going around reentrants and dropped low to avoid the last couple. | ||||||
| 6. | Straight. Nadim was there taking pictures. I wanted to look good so I started off in the wrong direction leaving 6. | ||||||
| 7. | Started off in wrong direction. oops. Thought control was reentrant so surprised when it wasn't and was on hunter stand. | ||||||
| 8. | I drew my circle a little off. I thought it was spur. I saw the control with water and figured it had to be mine as how many water stops would there be. | ||||||
| 9. | I stayed low along the stream and cut up after reentrant past the trail. | ||||||
| 10. | straight. Passed Peggy D on the way. | ||||||
| 11. | straight. Passed Peggy D on the way. | ||||||
| 12. | Down the reentrant, around the marsh and across the stream. Up to the field. The trail should be mapped as a road. Across main road, along edge of field and straight to the control. | ||||||
| 13. | Straight. Only ran on trail for a few steps. | ||||||
| 14. | straight | ||||||
| 15. | straight | ||||||
| 16. | Southish to road. Down road to bend. Then due east to control. Attacked from trail bend. | ||||||
| 17. | Angled to trail. Trail to bend. Then ran through the worst green to get to the control. | ||||||
| 18. | Leftish to avoid the worst of the green. | ||||||
| 19. | To the little marsh norht of the stream bend. Then fought my way to the bridge getting my feet all muddy on the way. | ||||||
| 20. | Across the field. Decided to go down the road to avoid the green but was probably quicker to go straight. | ||||||
| 21. | straight | ||||||
| F. | I was going to go to the trail but apparently missed and ended up going through the green to the right of the straight line. |
