| 1. | +01:30 | Fumbled around too far to the left. Hit one of the mapped stonewalls and doubled back to the control | |||||
| 2. | Towards the big building, follow the roads. Never saw the trail through the green. | ||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | Fortunately no one to follow across the bridge. | ||||||
| 5. | |||||||
| 6. | |||||||
| 7. | +08:00 | Following the road into the marsh but lost contact and veered off (hoping to relocate on boulders and vegetation?!). Relocated on the stream bend with the big rock but got drawn off by 45 degrees by another person standing by a bag. Punched and then realized the code didin't match. South into the yellow area and then figured it out. | |||||
| 8. | West to the jeep road and down the road to the bend. Followed the spur up between the rocky reentrants, staying right of the one with the big rock. The bag was right there at the end of the rock. | ||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | Right of the dark green swamp, up the hill to the bare rock. | ||||||
| 11. | Left of cliffs, spotted elongated knoll, over and spotted the e-punch stand. Had to be right on top of it to see the bag! | ||||||
| 12. | Why not put the water at 11 and skip this one? | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | +02:00 | Went right around the hill but climbed too high and went around too far. Doubled back and saw the fairly prominent spur. Left route probably has less climb. | |||||
| 15. | +02:00 | Noticed that the reentrant was about 5 contours above the swamp, so was being cautious not to drop too far. Got to the top of the cliffs below the reentrant but spent way too much time figuring out where I was. | |||||
| 16. | Down and straight to the road, left to the building | ||||||
| F. | +00:10 | Punched one of the boxes and didn't hear it beep, so turned back to punch the other one (apparently they both registered since I have an extra punch 4 seconds after the one I didn't think registered). As I approached the finish I saw the punch boxes for the finish chute approaching from the other direction and ended up on the wrong side of the streamers. Ducked under and punched. |
