1. | P | D | P | R | Watched Joe from the start, ran hard off the gun, Tim P 3s chasing behind | ||
2. | P | D | P | R | Fell down twice up the hill | ||
3. | P | D | P | R | Pushed a good line to the open intending to go R on the trail, but hit the open an changed my mind to go around L for a run through control. Realized it was a poor choice within 5s, but committed and pushed harder to compensate | ||
4. | P | D | P | R | Left control about 20s back of Tim, no navigation, trusted Tom's and pushed hard to close the distance. Chose better drop to control and in before Tim. | ||
5. | P | D | P | R | Hustle up hill sighting Joe leaving... Clean, leading Tim. | ||
6. | P | D | P | R | Quick & clean | ||
7. | P | D | P | R | +01:30 | Quick R, then L looking for clear gap, didn't find it, both Tim & I mired in total crap. Many expletives from both of us. | |
8. | P | D | P | R | Field running, hard.. | ||
9. | P | D | P | R | Initial plan to contour, saw water feature crossbar so went for field rather than risk crap W of control. Good choice | ||
10. | P | D | P | R | +00:12 | Trails, up hill, through middle of open/trees, staying ahead of Tim, got suckered into another course control a bit early. Tim overtakes... | |
11. | P | D | P | R | Good visualization of control, straighter line got me ahead of Tim again. | ||
12. | P | D | P | R | Elected to drop, trail & climb rather than traverse rentrants. Risky but gained a few seconds on Tim who elected the latter option. | ||
F. | P | D | P | R | Hard finish, looking for Tim over my shoulder... |
