| 2. | Went to the bigger trail to the right (which turned out to be very slow sand), then to the ditch, attacking from the dot knoll. | ||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | Straight, then up the trail a bit to the bend, then read the contours and spiked it. | ||||||
| 5. | +04:00 | Missed this left, then coming back missed it again and landed in the reentrant to the right of the number 5. Then know where I was, but a lot of time had been lost. | |||||
| 6. | +08:00 | My back went out leaving 5. Some walking, trying to assess the damage, and whether I could continue. But most of the time lost came from losing concentration and going way left, mistaking the spur NW of the control for the one I wanted to pop over. Just couldn't think clearly as I was wandering around. Eventually headed north to the trail, relocated incorrectly, came south to the reentrant west of the control, and found it from there. | |||||

| 8. | I was having trouble picking my legs up in the blueberry, so I too the trail to the junction, then straight from there, coming in a bit north, but the knoll was obvious from a distance. | ||||||
| 9. | Ditch to the trail, cut the corner to the trail that ran past it. | ||||||
| 10. | +01:00 | Came in left to a control in the reentrant. Took some time to figure out which reentrant I was in, but then cut over right to it. | |||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | Not moving well through the blueberries. Mostly kept up a jog, but some stretches of walking lead to a slower time. Aimed off left and hit the trail about where I wanted, at the broad bend, then ran the trail until the rentrant on the line was in sight, attacking from there and spiked it. | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | To the big trail, turning right at the ditch, to the broad reentrant and then contoured right to it. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:30 | Drifted a bit right and saw a flag over the hill. As I approached I knew it wasn't mine, which was about 40 meters to the left, but I checked the number anyway before immediately correcting. | |||||
