1. 175m 36 13 +9 33% 77.8 3:25   175m 36 13 +9 33% 3:25 From watching others start and the warm-up around the parking lot, I knew where the control was. I didn't run hard so as to locate #1 on the map. I didn't see it until leaving the control.
2. 195m 1:03 10 +10 19% 84.1 5 5:23   370m 1:39 10 +19 24% 4:27 Around the back side of the building, up a little too early, back down and up again.
3. 270m 1:32 8 +11 14% 89.5 5:40   640m 3:11 10 +27 16% 4:58 Low route to the right, then S-curve L and R again.
4. 175m 2:04 12 +1:02 100% 54.8 20 32 11:48   815m 5:15 10 +1:20 34% 6:26 Back the way I came passing Eric Weyan going the other way and planning to cut through the woods--thought he was making a mistake? On the trail, the scale threw me. I passed it, cut in before the second bend where a recreational orienteer was; back to the trail, back up and in.
5. 300m 2:35 10 +38 32% 77.6 8:36   1115m 7:50 11 +1:56 33% 7:01 Trails to the left all the way there. A slight hesitation in the circle, not having seen it at first.
6. 50m 1:30 17 +1:05 260% 32.6 30 50 30:00   1165m 9:20 13 +2:54 45% 8:00 Back the way I came--whoops--wrong way. Back again, across the stream to the trail/road, left and in.
7. 335m 3:15 13 +1:21 71% 61.7 30 33 9:42   1500m 12:35 14 +4:00 47% 8:23 Around to the right on trails, I got to the fenced area S of the control and then realized I'd passed where I wanted to cut in when Peggy was going the other way. I should have kept going around but got confused. Instead I cut back behind Peggy cutting through to the field and bit further east of the control than I thought I would. Slowly, I fumbled in.
8. 270m 2:41 10 +38 31% 79.5 9:56   1770m 15:16 12 +4:22 40% 8:37 Around to the N, past the fenced area on the trail, cut through to the next trail, then angle in. I didn't realize until I'd gotten there that the rock was on the other side of the stream. No time lost but in retrospect this was a slow way of getting there.
9. 110m 3:04 16 +2:26 384% 22.5 2:00 2:08 27:52   1880m 18:20 14 +6:48 59% 9:45 Around to the left on what seemed to be a deer trail. I came to the area too high. However, seeing others behind me drew me up further to some visible rocks. I realized this to be the cluster on the spur but even then I came down badly and went SW instead of SE. I was loath to drop far enough but finally did when all else failed. As I angle in, I can see that Tom O. has caught me and Ted Good is approaching too.
10. 240m 2:13 12 +37 39% 74.4 15 9:14   2120m 20:33 13 +7:16 55% 9:41 Not wanting this to turn into another chase Ted Good event the rest of the way in, I caught-up as we crossed the stream to the road. I cut left then right and angled up. Ted stayed on the trail longer. I got a step on him but taking the next road to the garden area, I got confused by 90 degrees and started hunting S of the control. Ted and Tom both passed.
11. 235m 1:21 4 +11 16% 90.5 5:44   2355m 21:54 13 +7:15 49% 9:17 Leaving #10, Ted seemed to want to stay on the road instead of angling up. Later he explained that like me, he was having trouble distinguishing controus from route lines--he was headed toward #12. I angled up and got ahead of both Ted and Tom. Just reading the center of the circle, I went right side around the ruin and in.
12. 145m 1:50 17 +1:09 168% 37.9 40 54 12:38   2500m 23:44 13 +8:23 55% 9:29 Pressure of staying ahead got the better of me. I didn't read the route well and trotted off down the road. To make matters worse, after turning right at the intersection, I cut in to the right too soon ending-up in a horseshoe canyon of thorns. Backing out, to the open, I made the proper cut to the control.
13. 70m 17 11 +5 42% 72.5 3 4:02   2570m 24:01 13 +8:28 54% 9:20 Not much motivation to run hard and a line of people were ahead of me anyway.
