yeah, that was not advertised, but luckily i saw one of my dad's old maps and knew what to expect. not that it helped me much. anyway, way to get out there today and guess what? this will be one of the throwaways... :)
I always forget about this on the FCW map. Luckily we had some trail running from 1-2 which tipped me off.
I ran the blue course in the 1982 US Championships so I should have known that it was a 1:15000 map. But I have been having problems with my pacing and just worked out some new numbers for the woods and just figured I got it all wrong! I didn't realize it was 1:15000 until I saw Rob Wilkison walking back to the finish. He mentioned it to me and asked didn't you always end up short of the control! And yes I did end short of each control!!!
I didn't figure it out until 4 controls in...
You guys give me hope. :)
Tom, I had trail running to #2 also but I didn't listen to that little voice that said 'this seems too long, but it isn't '.
