1. | I walked straight S with little difficulty. | ||||||
2. | With false confidence, I left control w/o a bearing. With memories of WMOC'05, I eventually returned to control #1, took precise bearing and began compass school which would last through control #8. Take bearing and walk. | ||||||
3. | Take bearing and walk through GREEN. | ||||||
4. | I thought control was dangerously close to slippery rock. | ||||||
5. | I now began going round GREEN and resetting precise bearings. | ||||||
6. | |||||||
7. | This was a long slow walk and I fell S and messed around with dummy control. I'm glad it was there to stop me. | ||||||
8. | I took full advantage of the water stop. | ||||||
9. | I could hear the chopper leaving our chalet which was in direction of this leg. I glued on to elites flying down leg to mandatory road crossing. We fell S and over long dead road embankment and then had to head back N on shoulder of highway. | ||||||
10. | Knowing this leg would be discounted, I was slowest Canadian in my age group crossing pavement. | ||||||
11. | I left shoulder of highway too early but I was so happy to be running. | ||||||
12. | I was fooled by a natural break in tree cover which I mistook for trail that was yet to come. I went up to yard of the inn and back down to stone. | ||||||
13. | I was the third fastest flying back up from the stone. | ||||||
F. | The mismarked circle rather than x messed up many that we watched as spectators. However, the correction was clearly signed on information sheets at start. |
