| 4. | +00:20 | boomed right, came off the little gully with the stream | |||||
| 5. |
Did not like map +00:45 | hit the twin boulders, saw a huge boulder on the same contour on a spur in the right place, but no flag. Figured it was mishung then saw the flag on a smaller rock 20m away. Must have hallucinated the big boulder because no one else saw it, and it aint on the map ... | |||||
| 6. |
Took a chance Did not like map +04:30 | followed the rock down from the trail junct to an unmapped trail thru the rock where it had been cleared. This was the remains of a road from the 1800s, and they generally lead to the platforms -- ok this is great -- no rock, and will lead right to the platform in the circle. Never saw the platform, contours never made sense, and ended up NE of the circle. Sloppy ... | |||||

Frustrated | Went straight and spiked it, but so sloooow. Afraid to run on rock. A higher route may have minimized some rock. | |||||

| 9. |
Frustrated | Did not see the property line on the map. Took a lamish high route because I keep seeing the "no trespassing" signs. This race isn't worth getting shot over ... | |||||
| 10. |
Bad route choice Frustrated +01:00 | Kept switching sides of the stream for better running. Looks like I never found it ... | |||||
| 11. |
Frustrated | 11 coutours of climb ... | |||||
| 12. |
Frustrated | 17 contours of climb ... Did spike it tho ;-) I guess I'm both slow and out of shape ... | |||||
| 13. | trail - cut in late - count the reentrants | ||||||
| 14. |
Did not plan ahead Did not check features en route Took a chance Tired Not thinking clearly Lacked concentration Lacked confidence Hesitated Frustrated +02:00 | 13 contours of climb ... The course setter told me he set the hill climb on 12 so our brains would be bonked for this one. Well it worked on me ... I vaguely remember climbing up a hill, seeing a handful of rocks, platforms, and an unmapped trail, then vaguely seeing something orange, and being vaguely overjoyed that the code matched ... | |||||

| 18. |
Bad route choice Did not follow plan Did not check features en route Tired Frustrated +03:00 | What a mess. Seemed to take forever to get to the trail. Hit it and ran N to towards the bend, but never got there. Decided I wasn't sure where I was and went cross country and collected at the ride/stream/trail junction near the go control. Had no contact the whole leg. I think I need more hill training in rocky terrain in 98 degree heat in 100% humidity ... :-) | |||||
