GLOF Sprint
Not sure the last time I’ve done a woods sprint, the WOC quali really doesn’t count, it was almost all on trails/meadows/open. But this was neat, really in the woods and quite technical with serious route choices. The valleys were deep and steep (a 1:5,000 map with 5m contours!), so worth avoiding if possible, but ways around were often longer, so tough to decide. I think I mostly had good routes, but Alex’s to 11 was definitely quicker- around on road+trails plus a nice attackpoint. I also messed up the last control, and had to do a little circle in the arena back to it- can never lose concentration!!!
2- steep down, went too far south (pushed by downhill), ended up going up stairs on other side of the stream
4- went straight, down through field, on path, down and up steapness onto flat and then back to reentrant
5- stayed high
7- drifted east, maybe pushed by hilltop
8- again, pretty straight, bit left of line, down to flat with x- maybe actually should have gone straighter, or done the through the streams option
11- straight, through big ravine, this is one could have been faster on paths
12- bunch of guys around me, going to same control
13- guys had different control, I went straight to mine
15- up to road, along path on south side of stream. disappointed to see control really at the bottom of stream, but was still a fast route
16- actually started sliding backwards down the hill coming out of the ravine, despite the fact that I was already using my hands! gosh it’s steep/slippery!
Note: after the presentation on the courses this eve, less sure I took the best routes. Apparently to 4, should have been quicker around, and to 8 through the streams and 11 on the road... hmm. Well at least I executed the choices I did make well?

GLOF Middle
So not wonderfully smooth, but fast enough. The woods was very fast actually, except maybe directly under the cliffs, where I decided for no good reason to run to 2.
2- I knew I wanted to go through the cliff gap on the big trail, but for some reason, I decided to diagnol up like that was cutting a corner. So I was running through trashy rocks and downed trees to get out to the trail and then had to drop lots anyways because it was much lower. Annoyed with this choice for sure. Good on the details on the way in though.
3- attacked from reentrant on the close side of the trail
4- bad! thought I was on a right bearing, and wasn’t paying attn to contours because I could attack from green bit. but didn’t see green bit. ended up way to high at trail and had to come back down
5-6 still in detailed contour area and ok
7 long leg: I flew down hill, slightly different bearing then intended, ended up in marsh, but reformulated a plan to get out the the trail right above the cliff quickly, so no prob. do think original of out to big trail ASAP would have been faster
9- uphill!
10- fine, read contours well
11- bah! had issues finding the cliff gap- hard to find from above!
12 - should have run through woods- running through brashing yellow was ugly
So just a bit messier than I would have liked although no big errors, prob 1.5 minutes lost?
