| 1. | +00:30 | Ran on the trail for a few meters, then decided it was better to cut through the woods... except I cut diagonally, and wasn't sure which trail I was on when I hit it. Figured it out and didn't lose too much time. | |||||
| 2. | Used the vegetation as a funnel. | ||||||
| 3. | +00:15 | For whatever stupid reason I started going left around the deadfall and ended up climbing over slippery logs without spikes. | |||||
| 4. | +00:10 | Was worried that I had dropped to low, but as I rounded the spur I ended up a bit too high. | |||||
| 5. | +00:25 | Didn't have a good plan, and started contouring to the left. Then realized I had to run down and back up again. Climbed a bit too high on the other side. | |||||
| 6. | +00:10 | For some reason I thought I would be able to see the control from the narrow ride, and so I continued to the second small reentrant before curving back over. | |||||
| 7. | Decided to run around on the trail and catch it from above. | ||||||
| 8. | Was worried about this one, but the shelf was relatively easy to find. | ||||||
| 9. | Read the map carefully and made sure I didn't get stuck in the first set of reentrants. | ||||||
| 10. | Contoured, and hit it pretty much spot on. | ||||||
| 11. | Found the boulder to the W first, but didn't lose much time. | ||||||
| 12. | Went back to the trail, and the bag was visible from it. | ||||||
| 13. | +00:25 | Should have gone the trail, but veered off into the woods instead. Then curved back left to catch the reentrant. Not a very well executed leg. | |||||
| 14. | +00:25 | Cut through the vegetation and hit the narrow ride. But lacked some confidence, and decided to climb out on the stony spur to be certain. This was unnecessary - I should have stayed left of the spur until I saw the saddle, as the spur was hard to run on. | |||||
| 15. | +00:05 | Went way left of the boulders. | |||||
| 16. | Straight. | ||||||
| 17. | I guess one benefit of having climbed on the spur was that I knew exactly where to start descending. A well executed leg. | ||||||
| 18. | +00:35 | Climbed too early and had to zig zag around some vegetation. I think I executed the rest of the leg well, so most of the time was lost in the beginning. Then again, maybe I didn't push myself hard enough up the hill. | |||||
| 19. | Went straight, wondering when I'd hit the trail. | ||||||
| 20. | Stayed on the trail for a few steps until I could see the control and then made a dash for it. | ||||||
