1. | P | D | P | R | 4 | +00:30 | Hesitant entering the woods, got bogged down in the ditch. Should have tried to stick to the trail a bit more. |
2. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Understood what I was looking for, got a bit left but corrected. Didn't see the trail option, but looks like it was not faster. | |
3. | P | D | P | R | 4 | A bit hesitant to be sure I got on the right trail. Crossed the erosion ditch under the powerlines, so no time list there, just came in along the ditch reading the terrain. | |
4. | P | D | P | R | 4 | Best leg. Popped up to the trail, read the reentrant on in. | |
5. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Ended up a bit to the right, so took the trail and looked for the stream on the other side. Pushing here. | |
6. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Good big picture, almost got off bearing. 2nd best split, relatively. | |
7. | P | D | P | R | 3 | +00:20 | Out to the trail again. Not sure this was fastest. A bit slow on the way in, there were a lot more ditches than I expected coming from north to south. |
8. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Confused by the ride, which I didn't see until just now on the map. A bit hesitant reading the contours, until on the final 200m it all made sense and I could run with confidence. Nice having the road as a backstop, almost stopped and felt out of touch at about 300m. | |
9. | P | D | P | R | 3 | +00:30 | Completely reversed the contours here and nothing made sense. Blundered right into my control. Lucky. Not sure why I kept pushing when things did not make sense. |
10. | P | D | P | R | 3 | +01:00 | Coming apart here, clearly. Pushed up the hill and hit something unmapped before coming the trail I thought was mine. It wasn't as I discovered when I hit the road...decided to forge ahead and just kick it on the hardball, although in retrospect I really could have just hung a right and crashed over to the trail I wanted, it wasn't all that thick. |
11. | P | D | P | R | 3 | +00:20 | Didn't expect the light green to be so runnable. Originally planned to go above the control on the little trail and J-hook in, but when I saw it was ok from the trial junction, I ran south and cut in instead. Should have just dropped south to begin with. Nice little ride all the way to the control... |
12. | P | D | P | 3 | Really don't know here. Came out to the trail and north to get under the powerlines, then SE to the diagonal trail. Probably a faster route. | ||
13. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Did not look as I pictured. More trail than linear clearing. Lots more yucky vegetation. Forged ahead anyway. | |
F. | P | D | P | R | 1 | Could see I was going to make 10 min/km, so really pushed here. Smoked. 'Bout as hard as i could run a course of this distance. |
