tdgood
| 1. | I hate Night O's. Once I settled down, I did ok, but the start was so bad. I couldn't find my lilghts so bought new ones in Colorado Springs. They didn't shine as far so i couldn't read any features at a distance. I took the road to the bend but ended up way south of the control (by the trail/marsh). | ||||||
| 2. | I was again way right and hit the fence. Ran past the building to the control. | ||||||
| 3. | Found a water and had some. It was going to be a long night at this pace. Finally an easy control. I had been in this area previously. Ended up at the reentrant to the right. Finally cut back to the correct area. Control was hidden against a pine tree. I spent some time looking for it even when I knew I was at the correct feature. | ||||||
| 4. | Ended up way left. Came back and still had trouble finding it. | ||||||
| 5. | Ran the fence corner. I knew exactly where I was but still couldn't find the control. I just kept checking cliffs until I found one with the conrol. There was no excuse to hide this one. | ||||||
| 6. | Finally settled down. | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | trail the fence corner. Cut in too soon and ended up having to crawl through all the cliffs to get the correct cliff. | ||||||
| 9. | Straight. Knew exactly where I was but still ended up on the wrong spur. | ||||||
| 10. | Cut to far east and ended up at the depression which gave a good attack point. | ||||||
| 11. | straight | ||||||
| 12. | dropped down to the road. Control was easy coming from the road junction but very hard from the top. | ||||||
| 13. | Ended up to high and had to cut back down the reentrant. | ||||||
| 14. | straight | ||||||
| 15. | Run to the tree | ||||||
| F. | Hey, same finish leg. I was 15 seconds faster than the previous saturday. |
