1. | Start out easy. Note fence and thicket. | ||||||
2. | Attack of hilltop with palmettos then bearing to other small hill. | ||||||
3. | Easy. Hill, depression, depression. | ||||||
4. | Hit EW trail thinking I was to the right of junction so went west. Figured out I was wrong as I climbed narrow hill between 11and 12. Very slow and tentative reattack to C4. Magnus came in behind me. -1:00 | ||||||
5. | Follow veg line to C5. | ||||||
6. | Run // and to the left of Magnus. | ||||||
7. | M leads us in to control weaving through thickets. | ||||||
8. | Through veg to ponds. Gaps in thickets easy to read and come through gap to C as M is leaving. | ||||||
9. | Catch up to M along pond and we then proceed to go way left up the slope left of the C. Hit trails and am confused. M and I both started heading back E at the same time. M gets there before me. Figure that mistake is going to cost big and it did. -3:00 | ||||||
10. | Behind M to trail and around thicket. | ||||||
11. | M goes out to trail junction while I go straight through slash. I think I got a better line through the veg. and get ahead of M as we near the ponds. Weave between ponds and careful to C. | ||||||
12. | Up hilltop on trail, then to second hill, see M ~100m off to left and spot C a bit to my right. | ||||||
13. | Drifted right and ran by small depression with rootstock before trail. Corrected, over broad spur, by thicket, M converges from my left, I punch just ahead of M, as Angelica is leaving. | ||||||
14. | Thicket, thicket. | ||||||
15. | Blast through the thicket gap to hill top as two F21 are leaving. | ||||||
16. | Trail to left then to C. | ||||||
F. | Run. Overall: reading contours and veg. well but I was not disciplined with direction and compass. With Magnus nearby on the way to C9 I got sloppy. |
