Bad route choice Ran too fast +00:15 | Ran really hard. Surprised to catch sight of Mark V. We both were probably too far left (hit the corner of the rectangular field) | |||||
| 2. |
Bad distance judgement Hesitated +00:10 | Mark gets out first. Follow in his direction. Lose sight in the pines. Not quite sure of location on ridge, ergo not confident on approach to control | |||||
| 3. |
Tired | Hmm. Mark takes the field straight. Hah! I'll stick it too him by going left. Somehow we still get to the control roughly the same time though. | |||||
| 4. | Don't see Mark until I see him running perpendicular to travel along the stone wall. Move to the control first | ||||||
| 5. |
Lacked confidence Hesitated | Hesitate a bit and Mark moves back ahead. Fine he can get this control. | |||||
| 6. |
Bad route choice Took a chance Did not like map Disturbed by others +01:40 | Time to make a move. Failed miserably. Take a chance to the right. Map is weird - swampy and contours don't seem right. When I get to the wall use contours to rellocate. Guess wrong. Mark is over a minute ahead. | |||||
| 7. |
Tired +00:15 | Demoralized. Slog up the ridge next to the creek. Pull up short and start looking for the control. | |||||
| 8. |
Tired | I hear someone behind. Oh s***! its the other Mark (Everett) The wheels are coming off the wagon. This guy has got legs! | |||||
| 9. |
Tired | Slog up the hill. | |||||
| 10. | Lengthen out a bit. | ||||||
| 11. | +00:10 | Hesitate a bit but do mostly OK. | |||||
| 12. | Slog out of the control, struggling up through the logged area to the road and cruise down. As I am leaving, see Swiss (who resembles Achilles in my oxygen starved mind) | ||||||
| 13. |
Tired | Up the hill. Swiss encraoches ... and passes. Bye Swiss. | |||||
