| 1. | Oops. Put the wrong park name. Should be Chip Ross. Had a hard time finding the start triangle. Was surprised the control was on the right side of the trail. Need to read more carefully. | ||||||
| 2. | Ran up the main trail, then cut over to the smaller trail. Tripped and did a face plant into some blackberries. Picked out thorns for the rest of the race. | ||||||
| 3. | Started off going straight, but could see a sea of blackberries, so bailed to the trail. Went way to high past the control, so lost some time. | ||||||
| 4. | Straight to the control. | ||||||
| 5. | Went around the end of the blackberries. Cut through the dark green at the white patch of forest. A better route would have been the trail crossing south. Didn't see this during the race. Ran to the marsh and followed it to the control. Overshot a little. | ||||||
| 6. | Followed the indistinct trails perfectly to #7 where Andy was taking pictures. As I was about to punch I realized that I needed to get #6 first. Tried to take a straight shot at #6, but thought the reentrant south of the control was correct. It wasn't. Realized that I was in the wrong spot and made the correction. | ||||||
| 7. | Figured this would be easy since I was here once already. Was too far to the right, so lost time. | ||||||
| 8. | Followed the indistinct trail south. Crossed the stream on the main trail right into the control. | ||||||
| 9. | Followed the fence to the end of the blackberries, then took the trail until I could cross the dark green in white forest. | ||||||
| 10. | Went NW until I could cross the green then slogged up the hill to the control. | ||||||
| 11. | Took the trail as close as I could get then made the steep climb to the control. | ||||||
| 12. | Went north around the green blob. Crossed the reentrant, then climbed to the trail. Used the rock as my attackpoint. Spike! | ||||||
| F. | Down to the trail. Was careful running down the muddy trail. |
