1. | +03:30 | Complete brain fade. Got caught in the green, confused by stone walls, ran wrong way on trail until almost #2 before figuring things out. | |||||
2. | +00:30 | Really poor route choice -- between the stone walls there are big trees with low branches. Met Jeff Saeger here. | |||||
3. | Followed J.S. -- he was a little hesitant and I caught up a little. | ||||||
4. | J.S. went a bit too far E and I beat him to it. | ||||||
5. | J.S. caught up to me on the trail but didn't decide to pass me until almost the trail junction. He went further, I took the left trail then up. He still beat me because I walked up the climb. | ||||||
6. | +00:15 | Out of oxygen by the time I got to the trail jct. I was momentarily confused as to where I was. | |||||
7. | Didn't cut into the woods until I saw the control. | ||||||
8. | |||||||
9. | +01:00 | Drat. Didn't see the wall on the map. Had to circle around the building to the E. Met Pelle W. on the way in. | |||||
10. | |||||||
11. | Took the stairs directly across the parking lot from #10. Lost a little time by turning right. Ran up through the embankment and had the presence of mind to know immediately to run up to the patio. Met P.W. again here. | ||||||
12. | |||||||
13. | |||||||
14. | Smacked my head on the tree leaving #13. Ow! Halfway up the hill, P.W. passed me, but further up I picked up some speed. Don't know where P.W. went after that -- I was heading straight for the control. | ||||||
F. | Into woods, then E to road. Thanks Peter - nice course. But boy was I wasted. The humidity really got to me. |
