| 1. | +02:30 | Was actually shocked when I flipped the map over - it looked like a different color scheme, but I guess it was just all of the rock features that I am not used to seeing. Climbed to the ridge right away, and got to the hilltop jsut before the control, but couldn't see the control, so I allowed myself to get confused and wander a bit, beofre coming back to the hilltop and going towards the reentrant. | |||||
| 2. | +02:48 | Overshot this trying to hurry, since Daria had caught me before the first control. Briefly hung up in the laurel, until I figured out what I had done. | |||||
| 3. | Went wide left around the laurel, then cut north to trail, which I left before the form line. | ||||||
| 4. | Back out to trail and around bend to where it was closest to control. | ||||||
| 5. | Left trail partway up the spur and missed the stone wall, but when I got to the stream, I looked back and saw where the wall ended to my right and adjusted. By now I was realizing I was not going to see flags until I was pretty close. | ||||||
| 6. | Missed left, but realized it fairly quickly. | ||||||
| 7. | Straight - slower than I should have been, given the great backstops, but spent a lot of time crouched over in this "white" forest. | ||||||
| 8. | Around the swamp left, then circled it back to the line. | ||||||
| 9. | Missed a little right, but just had to circle the boulders. A Team USA woman beat me coming in. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:20 | Tried to pick up the pace to keep up, but there was too much ducking to do (still in "white" forest), and ended up going too far right, but coming out right of the swamp got me redirected - except I ran to the wall junction instead of the control. | |||||
| 11. | Drifted a bit left on the way out to the trail, but terrain was obvious to control, which had a bit of a crowd. | ||||||
| 12. | +00:20 | Contoured left a little, then hit the trail running N and between marshes. Climbed a bit on the other side before breaking for the control. | |||||
| 13. | +00:30 | Drifted left and missed the used of the trail thru the green, then momentum carried me past the dam. | |||||
| 14. | Crossed the stream early, looking for some white to run in. | ||||||
| 15. | Drifted just a bit left. | ||||||
| 16. | +00:10 | Ran close to the water until the undergrowth, then got too close to the pines before correcting. | |||||
| 17. | This was a battle, first the hill, then all the junk - including in the clearings. | ||||||
| F. | Quick. |
