1. 510m 2:27 1 -1:01 -29% 156.5 4:48   510m 2:27 1 -1:01 -29% 4:48 I went straight across to the trail hitting it at the intersection, then following it to a kink. I got off the trail a bit early but it was a safe move.
2. 480m 7:45 2 +2:51 58% 97.9 2:30 16:08   990m 10:12 3 +1:50 22% 10:18 I started to go straight, then thought to go around to the right, then compromised. I crossed the trail at the open area, then drifted far right. At the bottom I went left and hit #14 expecting it to be #2--bad. Not recognizing the code, I went on anyway but tentatively.
3. 220m 2:11 2 +31 31% 92.1 30 9:55   1210m 12:23 3 +1:50 17% 10:14 A guy was ahead and moving my way. I took off quickly without getting a good read. I went straight, catching then passing him only to stop at another wrong control. Figuring it out, I caught-up to the same guy again, who let me punch first. Thanks...
4. 260m 2:10 2 +8 7% 106.9 8:20   1470m 14:33 3 +1:52 15% 9:53 Mostly straight up, I could run the hill w/o stopping. I wanted to find the trail intersection at the top but could hardly see the double trail and just kept going. I was glad it was just at the bottom of a big reentrant.
5. 690m 7:02 3 +2:32 56% 86.6 2:00 52 10:11   2160m 21:35 3 +4:24 26% 9:59 Planning to go straightish, I drifted right and upon seeing the field, changed my route to go through it to the field and trail. Changing my mind again, I jumped back into the woods angling for the trail but never saw it. I found the stream and got pretty close to it but couldn't find the stream on the map while running--it is shown in the thick green which wasn't that thick. I never saw the trail along the lowIand either. I was still unsure I had the right reentrant until I crossed the T-intersection and started seeing other controls and runners again. Bad.
6. 230m 1:59 2 +31 35% 101.1 8:37   2390m 23:34 3 +4:55 26% 9:51 I went straight at it, getting a little too high on the left. Sam Listwak the course setter said he expected some would go around to the right.
7. 800m 10:25 2 +4:24 73% 88.8 3:45 1:03 13:01   3190m 33:59 3 +9:19 38% 10:39 Eagar to do better, I took off w/o setting my bearing correctly. I kept veering left, hitting the trail left of the bend. I came down it to the right, not sure why the curves didn't match-up and turned left at the first intersection. Again, I hadn't seen that there were two trail intersections in the area. After I could see it was going the wrong way I realized where I was and charged into the downfall hand drawn on the map. I passed right by #1, then followed the white gap to the next reentrant, passing another runner along the way. I attacked from the right of the stream intersection, almost missing it well to my right.
8. 500m 4:28 2 +1:02 30% 94.8 8:56   3690m 38:27 2 +10:21 37% 10:25 Sam's course notes said we wouldn't find an optimal road route but I went up anyway. The climb was slow but the running still seemed more efficient. I left the road at the reentrant and followed the rocks/cliffs. Finally a better leg for me.
9. 680m 7:37 3 +2:39 53% 81.7 1:45 1:19 11:12   4370m 46:04 3 +13:00 39% 10:32 Rushing again, I took a bad route. I thought if I went straight it'd be too hilly so I just blindly ran down the reentrant, headed NW at first. I should have gone SW. I crossed the creek, took the trail and counted reentrants. Crossing again, I then attacked off a trail bend, going through the mountain laurel at the end.
10. 750m 5:55 2 +27 8% 101.9 7:53   5120m 51:59 3 +13:27 35% 10:09 Straight across and up the hill. To keep running, I cut left to use the reentrant to level the climb. At the road, I mistook which intersection I was at and went down the middle road instead the the west most one. I think this was better than I planned as it saved climb and distance. I passed the bath room building and hit it just before Steve Meacham got there.
11. 530m 5:17 2 +38 14% 99.4 45 9:58   5650m 57:16 2 +14:05 33% 10:08 I crossed the creek immediately and started going too high. It looked okay to go straight so I tried, passing the chimmney along the way. I popped-out of the green well to the left, saw it on my right and ran almost 150m to it.
12. 400m 2:51 2 +29 20% 98.8 7:07   6050m 1:00:07 2 +14:34 32% 9:56 Down to the stream junction then mostly straight, glad to see it where I thought it should appear.
13. 1100m 9:11 2 +1:29 19% 98.4 8:20   7150m 1:09:18 2 +16:03 30% 9:41 Staying straight across the first big reentrant, I got left a bit and onto the windy trail on the next ridge. I slowed to open and eat a PowerShot. I thought the running would be better and it didn't seem so winding on the map. It got me to the next reentrant which I dropped down into, 100m above the 5th control, then up to the top of the next ridge/knoll. I contoured around the next reentrant to hit it well.
14. 450m 3:26 1 -11 -5% 119.9 7:37   7600m 1:12:44 1 -1:39 -2% 9:34 I went straight to the trail intersection and took the trail to the bend. Coming down the reentrant, I felt it was more defined than on the map so I started to think I'd need to look to my right at the bottom. I saw the control to the left and thought to check it anyway and it was right. Just lucky.
15. 530m 5:13 1 -2:43 -34% 203.7 9:50   8130m 1:17:57 2 +16:07 26% 9:35 I went a little low then just tried to go straight through the green, trying to keep running until I hit the trail. I hit one deadend along the way which I backed out of to the left. I hesitated after crossing the trail, looking for a way around or a good entry point into the next green. I went through and found it not bad.
16. 510m 4:48 2 +45 19% 107.5 9:24   8640m 1:22:45 2 +16:52 26% 9:34 Straight across to the knoll, I just kept my feet moving along the ridge of the knoll to the control
17. 320m 3:21 3 +1:13 57% 82.4 1:10 33 10:28   8960m 1:26:06 2 +18:05 27% 9:36 Across the saddle, then angling down, I could see it far off. I got there, looked at the code then scratched my head. I had looked at the wrong block of my control card and thought something was amiss. I took a split, wandered uphill, could see the building at the finish and the clear reentrant so I went back and figured it out...
18. 170m 57 1 -2 -3% 111.7 5:35   9130m 1:27:03 2 +18:03 26% 9:32 Chug, chug.. ahh. Not very satisfying navigation but I felt I ran okay and that I'm getting more fit again.
