1. | 115m | 44 | 13 | +15 | 52% | 72.0 | 6:22 | 115m | 44 | 13 | +15 | 52% | 6:22 | I had a late start on my Red course earlier. Peggy and I signed-up as soon as we got back to Camp Brukner. I needed to warm-up so I waited around a little then shuffled in the parking lot to warm-up. I saw a few starts and the finish. While waiting, Ross Smith shivered along with me. Starting several minutes behind Sam Listwak and an older person I didn't know, I felt self concious of being slow to find the start triangle with Peter G. watching. Once I did, I was quick to find the sidewalk and went on the right side around the building to the control. | ||||||||||||||||||||
2. | 170m | 1:34 | 10 | +18 | 24% | 84.8 | 8 | 9:12 | 285m | 2:18 | 12 | +28 | 25% | 8:04 | The green looked bad so I went around to the left on the paved road. I came all the way to the intersection w/the dirt road then down to the strange corral-like area. I around it on the right side and turned left at the corner. The older person who started ahead of me seemed to be passing the control. I cut right after getting past the slash but was too far left. Fortunately I saw it and corrected. | |||||||||||||||||||
3. | 60m | 1:10 | 14 | +46 | 192% | 35.2 | 45 | 38 | 19:26 | 345m | 3:28 | 12 | +1:05 | 45% | 10:02 | Like others, I took off on the short leg and went to the visible rock. Not having read the code, I didn't look on the other side; the side on the edge of the thorns. I looked at the bunker to my left and couldn't understand why I couldn't see it on a 60m leg. I turned back 2/3 of the way to #2 then came at it again. I would have liked to go back and checkout what I was seeing as it almost seemed there were two rocks, not one. I vaguely remember going to the same rock that I first did then cutting south to the correct one seeing it on the other side. | ||||||||||||||||||
4. | 95m | 1:17 | 16 | +37 | 93% | 54.1 | 35 | 24 | 13:30 | 440m | 4:45 | 14 | +1:38 | 52% | 10:47 | One error leads to another as I rushed out. I went around to the left by the corral-like area and passed Ross who was headed the other way toward #2. At the road, I crossed it and went up a contour toward the knoll. Re-reading the map sent me back across the road to the control but the older man now behind me since #2 seemed to do the same thing I did on this control. | ||||||||||||||||||
5. | 225m | 1:27 | 10 | +17 | 24% | 87.0 | 6:26 | 665m | 6:12 | 14 | +1:51 | 43% | 9:19 | Instinct was to get back to the road the way I came so I did and went the slightly longer way around to the left. I had felt better than I did when on the Red course but not so much that I felt I was running this flat leg very fast. I read ahead on the map. At the end I went around the green to the right, seeing the control from the road. | ||||||||||||||||||||
6. | 85m | 43 | 12 | +10 | 30% | 81.4 | 8:25 | 750m | 6:55 | 14 | +2:01 | 41% | 9:13 | I had been warned about the Trail-O Championship going on and told that it was better not to interrrupt them by going around. I returned to the road and went right to it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
7. | 165m | 59 | 9 | +9 | 18% | 90.4 | 5:57 | 915m | 7:54 | 13 | +2:10 | 38% | 8:38 | Again not feeling very fast. | ||||||||||||||||||||
8. | 103m | 40 | 7 | +5 | 14% | 89.2 | 6:28 | 1018m | 8:34 | 13 | +2:14 | 35% | 8:24 | Staying on the trail. | ||||||||||||||||||||
9. | 310m | 3:30 | 12 | +57 | 37% | 75.2 | 11:17 | 1328m | 12:04 | 12 | +2:32 | 27% | 9:05 | I briefly thought to cut across not being able to distinguish the blue from the black while on the run. I ran around and was glad when I saw how deep the water and ditch was. Coming off the merging Y-intersection, I ran right past some Trail-O controls in the clearing. I never saw the first big cliff so I must have been above it. I saw Sam Listwak below and he commented on hating rock as he continued to move down the hill away from the control. I kept moving higher looking for the back side of the hill. I hit the cliff just right. | ||||||||||||||||||||
10. | 125m | 51 | 5 | +7 | 16% | 90.8 | 6:48 | 1453m | 12:55 | 12 | +2:33 | 25% | 8:53 | Going straight, I could make out where the reentrant would be from the shape of the crest before climbing to it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
11. | 105m | 45 | 10 | +8 | 22% | 85.2 | 7:08 | 1558m | 13:40 | 12 | +2:39 | 24% | 8:46 | I somewhat contoured but as I crested, the wind picked-up and blew the control up high enough for it to be seen far off. I would have been on target anyway but it let me run a little harder. | ||||||||||||||||||||
12. | 65m | 36 | 13 | +11 | 44% | 72.2 | 12 | 9:13 | 1623m | 14:16 | 12 | +2:47 | 24% | 8:47 | I didn't wait much to set a bearing or understand the contour. I got off to the left knoll and had to cut over at the end. | |||||||||||||||||||
13. | 190m | 1:37 | 10 | +29 | 43% | 72.9 | 8:30 | 1813m | 15:53 | 12 | +3:16 | 26% | 8:45 | Going straight I was looking for the spur coming off the hill. It was much more prominent than the map seemed to indicate. Because of this I slowed so as not to pass it. I hit it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
14. | 545m | 6:29 | 13 | +1:32 | 31% | 78.6 | 15 | 11:53 | 2358m | 22:22 | 12 | +4:38 | 26% | 9:29 | I didn't see options to the left. I decided to cross the marsh quickly where it was narrow. Cutting right, I used the trail. I left that before it started dropping a lot. The sidehill running and steep climbing was difficult. I kept track of the largish spurs and also used the position of the barracks to triangulate the cliff. I caught and passed a person who had taken a shorter but steeper route. Nearing the control I approached from the top of the cliff. Going to the end and edge, I still couldn't see it but I dropped down anyway and punched as Ross Smith came-in from the low end of the cliff. | |||||||||||||||||||
15. | 240m | 1:18 | 10 | +12 | 18% | 86.3 | 5:25 | 2598m | 23:40 | 12 | +4:50 | 26% | 9:06 | I rushed out heading toward the middle of the barracks before deciding to go around on the right side. I was worried about staying ahead of Ross. I looked ahead toward #16 and decided I would use the trapezoidal parking area as an attack point for that. | ||||||||||||||||||||
16. | 180m | 1:13 | 12 | +17 | 30% | 79.0 | 20 | 6:45 | 2778m | 24:53 | 12 | +5:06 | 26% | 8:57 | I wasted no time leaving #15 and cut right a little after crossing the road so that I could get an easier path down the hill to the next road. This put me at the trapezoidal parking lot I'd planned to use earlier when running to #15. Unfortunately hearing Ross bearing down on me I went to the end of the lot and kept going straight instead of cutting left to the control. I rounded a barrack and had to come back discovering that Ross had got ahead. | |||||||||||||||||||
17. | 140m | 53 | 13 | +15 | 39% | 73.6 | 6 | 6:18 | 2918m | 25:46 | 12 | +5:21 | 26% | 8:49 | I went along the path chasing Ross and not reading very well. I should have kept going straight around the barracks to the right but seeing Ross ahead cut left and under one barrack, I followed and hit the road. I turned right on the road and Ross was already out of sight. As I got near, Ross had just punched and was pointing me there. Thanks! |
