pkturner
| 1. | I arrived way early for the meet, and Alar was nice enough to start me at 9:25. Went left, up the reentrant. | ||||||
| 2. | Attacked from stone wall corner. | ||||||
| 3. | +05:00 | Followed RR track.Went too high, past control. Wandered down uncertainly for a while, then found it while heading up again. | |||||
| 4. | A control from another course helped me as I approached. | ||||||
| 5. | Running roughly east and down, I missed the trail! At first could not believe that I was that far off the line, but figured out that the dense evergreen trees in front of me had to be the mapped vegetation boundary. Used the trail to approach five. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | +02:30 | Back along trail, then watch for stone walls. But the final wall confused me, and I found the marsh (dry) N of the control. Then the reentrant leading SW drew me off and I missed the control again. | |||||
| 8. | Careful with the compass, and nailed it. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:15 | Left the trail where it bent left, and found the going a bit convoluted to the control. | |||||
| 10. | Trail and streamers. | ||||||
| F. | Enjoyed the run, particularly having the woods to myself by starting so early. |
