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. |
