1. | +02:30 | Started ahead of Dave Onkst by about 2.5 min. I realized I was drifting left but thought I had corrected . Instead I went past the control to the ridge. I cut right along it and relocated at the saddle. Descending the reentrant still a bit tentative, I passed Dave Onkst going up the ridge and then saw the control. | |||||
2. | I headed left a bit toward the trail but never saw it. Seeing the split in the ridge to my right I passed through it and contoured along the ridge. Just after seeing it, I looked back at the sound of Dave approaching. | ||||||
3. | +02:00 | I contoured rather than cross the thick ridge. Going around the end, I hit the trail. Soon Dave popped out behind me. I left the trail quickly and saw the lake. Making a parallel error thinking I had already rounded the first lake for some reason, I cut left and started angling down. Seeing how long the lake was I realized my error and turned back. Soon Randy popped out to my right. Leading for a while I rounded the lake and crossed the stream a bit wider than Randy, losing my lead. We climbed and saw Dave much higher. I decided to angle up and contour around the knoll by using deer trails rather go over. Randy abandoned his route as I got ahead and started chasing me. Once around the knoll, I ran up toward the marsh and didn't see the control. Closer-in I found it on the ground. I punched, then let Randy punch while I rigged a stick in the mud to hang it again. | |||||
