4. | +00:10 | Bearing over the top. A little lack of confidence near the end, but didn't give up... | |||||
5. | +00:30 | Long contour, picking up charcoal platforms early. Looked let and that maybe, just maybe I could see the contour feature, but then things started getting confusing as the spur was coming up and the reentrant before it looked bigger than I thought it would be, so I climbed up two contours to get on the (broad) spur. Nothing there, so I jogged down (having just gone up/aiming off), keeping the edge about the right distance to my left, and looking behind rocks. | |||||
6. | +00:05 | Mostly on line, but crossed the rock line that went down to the control unsure if it was the mapped one. It seemed to continue a long way, so I presumed it was the mapped one and very left a little off my compass, and there was a rock. | |||||
7. | Drop, then contour, climbing a big at the end as I wasn't sure where the spur was going to be. Saw Nadim, David and some other (Indian?) guy exitting the control. | ||||||
8. | +00:30 | Drank, and when I'd finished, everyone was gone. Aimed to trail left of powerline, but hit it right, and turned right on it a bit before cutting through. Caught Indian guy and barely passed him down the rocky trail. Followed trail and I think I missed the turn down, barely, as I could see glimpses of David ahead. Eddie streaked in from the left as I was contouring across. Hit platform below reentrant, took (poor) bearing a bit too far right and was surprised to see Nadim, then David, then Eddie seeming to go via a rock on my left. Hadn't really climbed to much when I decided the rock Eddie disappeared behind fit the description. | |||||
9. | +00:25 | Eddie rapidly disappeared up the hill, a red beacon disappearing just before he hit the ridgeline, as I was passing David O. I was shivering a bit when passing David, when is a bad sign given the super-hot weather, so I slowed and chatted a minute before jogging again. Just a little hesitant on the way down and missed just a little right. | |||||

11. | Pretty straight, just had a really hard time moving up hill in the heat. Eddie creamed me on this leg... | ||||||

14. | Chasing Nadim out. Stayed mostly on the trail, then diagonalled in at the end, ahead of Nadim | ||||||
