I briefly considered being clever and going the other way from the start, but in the past I had been burned big time by being clever. I wonder whether it would have been faster? | ||||||||||||||||||||

Punched in with Tim Good, who I saw at many subsequent controls. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I said "I think we're at the lower wall" and turned up just at the right moment. Thanks, Nancy, for sitting there. Picked up Sharon Crawford here. | ||||||||||||||||||||

She went over the top on the trail, I came around the side, arriving the same time. T.G. just behind | ||||||||||||||||||||

But I trusted Paul when he said he thought the streamered route was best. Streamers weren't too plentiful. I parted ways with S.C. & T.G. when we were going N and they went off to the right. I went up a reentrant for a while, then saw them on a ridge above me. I went up and followed them in. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I didn't see him again on this leg. When I hit the stream jct I didn't know it, got confused, finally went up the reentrant & found it. T.G. rejoins. | |||||||||||||||||||

When I got to the area, my brain left me for a while. Took me several minutes to figure things out and met T.G. again at the control. | |||||||||||||||||||
18. | 2600m | 55:02 | 17 | +27:45 | 102% | 52.1 | 3:57 | 21:10 | 17970m | 4:35:57 | 21 | +1:58:55 | 76% | 15:21 | T.G. takes off, I take a minute to plan. OK. N to trail, trail to Times Sq. and a bit further, taking trail W, up to saddle, down rocky reentrant, etc. | |||||||||||||||||||
19. | 1275m | 33:29 | 18 | +19:55 | 147% | 45.4 | 6:23 | 26:15 | 19245m | 5:09:26 | 18 | +2:18:50 | 81% | 16:04 | SSW to trail, then made a poor choice of following too far, losing elevation. Left trail NNE of control. Seeing that it was 2PM, I stopped for a minute in memory of my friend Al whose ashes were being scattered in the Charles River at about that time. I didn't know what line of cliffs I was following, met a couple of lost cadets when I got to the open area. We were W of the control, which I figured out and led them in. | |||||||||||||||||||

I spotted the rock and said "There's a rock". As a I got closer I said "There's a stick leaning against the rock". P.G. remarked "Good thing there's a control hanging from the stick". | ||||||||||||||||||||

29. | 350m | 3:05 | 16 | +1:35 | 106% | 50.1 | 8:48 | 25795m | 7:18:29 | 21 | +3:24:03 | 87% | 16:59 | I was able to run, but P.G. & the other guy weren't. I thought it rude to pass them after they showed me the last control, so I finished with them. |
