| 1. | 0 | +00:10 | There was a little confusion at the start. I was suppose to have another minute before I started but didn't. I wasn't quite ready. I was wearing my new light. Started off slow as was having difficulty reading the map. | ||||
| 2. | P | 2 | +00:20 | Went across the bridge as I figured that would be a good way to cross the reentrant. Then ran to the next bridge which I didn't see on the map. | |||
| 3. | D | 3 | +02:00 | Made a dumb mistake. | |||
| 4. | Decided to not take the power line trail and stay in the woods. Ran on a snow trail until it turned the wrong way. | ||||||
| 5. | D | +03:00 | Not a fun leg. I tried to avoid the green but it felt like I went through the worst of it for the entire way to the road. I finally took the time to fix my light. I played with it so I would stay on the brightest level. This helped a lot as I could now see my map and woods. | ||||
| 6. | +00:20 | I contoured too much and hit the first reentrant to low. | |||||
| 7. | though about taking a long road run around but decided to go more straight. No problem navigating to the control, just getting across the power line. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:15 | Someone with a real bright light was following me which made it hard for me to see. I had to stop twice to let him pass but then he would stop. | |||||
| 9. | I took a different route to get away from the guy with the light but then we joined up again. Finally he veered off. | ||||||
| 10. | Drifted right more than I meant to but no problems. | ||||||
| 11. | Figured I couldn't tell green from non green so decided to go straight. I got to the powerline and couldn't get into it. I decided enough was enough. I crawled my way south the trail and finally found a way to the trail on the power line. took that to the trail (which was mapped at 1:15,000 instead of 1:10,000, the trail was at the tower not a ways in front of it.. Looped left around the worst of the green. Got to the control and I didn't have a dibber anymore. punched my map for there on out. | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | Tried to get back to trail. I hit the trail but couldn't find the powerline on the trail. finally just cut through some really bad stuff to get to the powerline trail. It was snowing hard at this point. ran along power line trail. Eventually cut back across powerline (so sick of It at this point) and over towards finish area. | ||||||
| 14. | Out to road. went left around the building. course line wasn't broken so couldn't tell if there was a cut through or not. | ||||||
| 15. | almost ran into the volleyball net. | ||||||
