Awful Race! Had a 90 disorientation at start, ran trail to 2, azimuth to 3, azimuth to 4 but I got off, climbed up the wrong cliff looked around for what seemed like forty five minuets, thought about mp and going on to the next control but then some people came by who seemed like they were looking for it and we found it together turned out I was on the wrong open rock also got confused at the height of cliffs, went back to the one I was looking around, took azimuth of of it a slight miss step and then to 5, went down and side hilled on what I though was the trail but it was not but it did lead me near the corner of the fence followed trail to bend took azimuth right to 6, flowed fence line to stream up that to end ridge to 7, took azimuth while running to 8 ran right in to woods but on the top side of cliff, back side of hill to 9, 10 to finish ran behind back of shed.

C • 4 and 5 were tough controls 3

Day 2, Mid, Orange - Splits

Warm up for includes distance/climb for to start and basically any non-race that I did at the race venue that day.

Did well, little over shot on 2, problems with what cliff it was on 3, going to 4 almost ran though some Concetta wire, 8 had some trouble because of some disorientation and the marker was hidden behind a root stock from my direction of approach. The splits that they have are my Mom's as she used my SI stick and it did not get put in as different time, time were only two minuets apart so it was not very big of a deal.

Hit 1 right on with a running azimuth, took a quick azimuth to 2 to get me headed in the right direction, same with 3, ran the road to 5, Cut across including under a building to 6, Decided not to go under a building to 8, almost ran past #9 as I was going for the boulder but it caught the corner of my eye, bad route choice to 10 and then checked the code but did not think it was mine and as I took a few more steps looked at my clue sheet and saw that it was, developed a stomach cramp on the road run to 11 went though the "gap", Ran over the wrong side of the rock at 12, 13 to finish was hard run as my cramp was really full blown and making it impossible to run effectively.
