| 1. | 3:55 to copy map | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | Instead of plowing straight through, decided to take the trail to the left. Missed it and ended up running the broader trail to the west. I had to climb a cliff. As I was punching in, I saw Mikkel wandering below. | ||||||
| 4. | Knowing how treacherous the cliffs were, I looped around to the N. | ||||||
| 5. | Mikkel punched in just ahead of me. Last time I saw him. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | Mistook one rocky spur for another and ended up south. Guessed the wrong direction to re-orient - running S on trail to rock face/rocky nose before figuring out where I was. | ||||||
| 8. | NE to trail, in at reentrant | ||||||
| 9. | Took the straight line without problems. | ||||||
| 10. | Decided to try the thin green directly to the west of 9. BIG MISTAKE. Fought through thick thick stuff for over 5 minutes. Later, Jeff said there was a little trail. I must have been just N of it. | ||||||
| 11. | Went around to the right of the fence. If I had realized ahead of time (yes I had the correction on my map, but I thought there was another trail), I would have cut in to the left. | ||||||
| 12. | S to the trail, pace count W, then S. | ||||||
| 13. | Straight up at the triangle, found the trail at the rock face/knoll, then checked off the cairn. | ||||||
| 14. | Took the trail to the W. | ||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| 16. | Took the trail to the E. | ||||||
| 17. | Took the trail to the N. | ||||||
| 18. | Ran the trail S of the control and went in just after the nose. Came over the ridge to find a nose on the other side, but the wrong one. Had to go NE to find the right one. | ||||||
| 19. | Considered running around the hill, but I was feeling good, so I went up and over. It probably cost me a ton of time, but I felt good for doing it. | ||||||
| 20. | |||||||
| F. | Some timing discrepancy that nobody understands has me officially finishing in 2:22 |
