Time Lost: 00:15 | Thought I was clever by taking left route (trail all the way down, then around W and N side of marsh) but looks like it was a wash or slight loss. |

| Good leg, caught the jog in the trail just right. |

| Skip. Still happy with this choice but hoping Ernst will do a statistical analysis vs. 23,
I think it's close. |

Time Lost: 00:30 | Left fork. A little sloppy in the execution: Should have stayed down on the beautifully smooth terrace rather than using the trail, and my final attack was left to the other trail where everyone else kept right. |

| Watched Jeff S. miss the trail jct. |

Time Lost: 00:10 | Left (high) route, which everyone else seemed to do too. But in the final attack, I kept leftish to the trail and lost a wee bit to those who pushed right through the slot. Also, twisted my ankle a bit in the barberry in spite of newfangled hightop O-shoes, slightly slowed for the rest of the race. |
| 13. |
| Watched Deb H. and a few others leave trail too soon. |
| 14. |
| Back to trail; probably straight was equal or a tad faster. |
| 15. |
| Leftish to miss almost all climb, but again it seems those who went straight did as well or a bit better. |
| 16. |
Time Lost: 00:40 | Left route, unlike most everybody else: Backtrack a bit, then south through notch, then along W edge of marsh (E side of green ridge that everyone else ran W of). I'm guessing 20 sec. lost on route choice and 20 sec. on execution (backtracked too far, almost entered wrong notch). |
| 17. |
| Passed by faster runners (Kris H., Andy H., J-J C., several others) and let them lure me off the trail sooner than I had planned. Probably a wash, less trail but attack along southbound wall was great. |
| 18. |
Time Lost: 00:30 | Again a different route than the rest: W down slope (probably the gentler, less rocky slope of the S spur was faster) then S along the W side of the marsh (some slight hangups in the muck). |

| Almost attacked from the back but ultimately attacked from the N figuring, correctly, that there had to be a path through the green from previous traffic to 24. |
| 24. |
Time Lost: 00:15 | Kept right of the marshy valley over the last few hundred meters, left to trail might have been a bit better. |
| 25. |
| All the way out to the mouth of the reentrant/excavation and around. Did anybody climb straight out? |
