Fools Rogaine-
Cleared course in just over 5 hours... but could have been better.
felt really good on first section which was easy trail run. I didn't feel like I was pushing but I was in the top 3 through the first 6 controls..
I was actually in the lead between controls M-C and F... then I messed up with reading the trails on the map. There was a trail no on the blow up that made me think I passed control K but I hadn't. That cost me 12 minutes.
Lost another 8 minutes losing the green trail turning to control S. I didn't see the bend and thought the trail ended, then got distracted by large spoil piles to the SW (complete opposite direction)
Stupidest mistake was mentally shutting down while running the trail through the watershed area. I was 600m past M-U when I realized there was a control prior to the end of that route... another 8 minutes.
Lost 10 minutes searching for control Y far too west of the trail but I truly believe the map location was not marked close enough to the trail.
Map scales were hard to judge. Scale bars were in feet and varied between maps. I decided to make a B-line to DD instead of looping out on trails and loosing elevation. I saw Legend Rock and then outcroppings SW of there but the control ended up being very close to Legend Rock. That out and back cost me 5 minutes.
The last mistake was the poorest decision making. Transitioning to Map 6 I was running with 3 other people who were obviously doing fairly well. KK was off trail but there was a blazed trail (not on our map) that went right to it. After JJ, I shut off and just followed the other 3. We ran right by KK by 160m. That was a 7 minute error that allowed the couple I had been ahead of the entire time to pass me.
I usually finish strong and on the last km I was just a few yards behind Brian Gatens but I could not muster any more power and finished just behind him. Looking at my Garmin readouts, My stamina went from 100% to 0 by the 3rd hour. Not sure what I was running on for hour 4 and 5.
So... If I add up my mistakes (50 minutes) I could have been finished much sooner and could have easily cut my errors by half.
I'm overall happy with what I did but not please with the ratio of overall time to error time. I can do better than 10 min / hr of mistakes.
Next time.
