| 1. | This was an embarrasing race for me. Stupid stupid stupid. Nice long legs on this course through really detailed stuff - truly awesome. Too bad I did so poorly. Overran #1, had to come back to it. | ||||||
| 2. | |||||||
| 3. | Right, then across wet swamp just below green. | ||||||
| 4. | |||||||
| 5. | Missed. Distracted myself by talking to a cadet about the previous control as I was exiting. I should know better than this. Pace pace pace. Where was my brain. Anyways, ran past this and putzed around below it. Once I finally got there it looked nothing like what I was visualizing - a reentrant between two bare rocks with cliff either side. It was a shallow, grassy re-entrant. So at *least* I was visualizing something, but on such a short leg, pace and steepness should have caught me sooner. No more talking in the forest (except to myself). Ken Sr. even ran by and told me I looked like an idiot standing still looking at my map :) I deserved that. | ||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | Back out to trail, up big re-entrant to saddle, then left. | ||||||
| 9. | High indistinct trail to the right, then gradual climb along cliff line below large bare hilltop, attck from "v" cliff | ||||||
| 10. | Intended to go just below green, then diagonal below yellow cliffs, but got too low early. Saw the road and it was downhill, so I drifted down there and ran the road. Passed jj going the other way. Went up the re-entrant just E of #11, then missed low and left and screwed around for a while trying to figure it out. What a mess. Saw Leif leaving 11 on my way in to 10. Knew he was really kicking my butt since he started well after me. | ||||||
| 11. | Too far left. Saw the giant rock on the hill to my right. | ||||||
| 12. | Back out to the road. Attacked up a cliff line, Turned up at the right time but not positive where I was. Missed below it and went way passed before circling around to find the yellow marsh and big cliffs. The climb from the road was brutal. | ||||||
| 13. | ~On the line for 1/3 of the way, then took the ride down to the road. Came through a red course control on my way in, knew exactly which cliff it was on. Took water there as I was dying of thirst. Then proceeded to attack 45 degrees off the bearing. Relocate on the marsh. What was I thinking? Tired and brain-dead at this point. | ||||||
| 14. | |||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| F. | Ran legs 8 and 9 very well, but 10, 12 and 13 I did poorly. They were all pretty awesome legs. |
