Rocky Mountain 1000 Day: Stampede
Anna
| 1. | The course was too small for me to read right away, so I followed Peter Gagarin. | ||||||
| 2. | Lost contact with the map, followed everyone to #32, then figured out where I was and kept going. | ||||||
| 3. | Up over the saddle. | ||||||
| 4. | Easy downhill to marsh. | ||||||
| 5. | I think I ran back with Jeff. | ||||||
| 6. | Knew my way since I'd already gone there. | ||||||
| 7. | Ran up onto saddle. | ||||||
| 8. | Saw it on the rocks. | ||||||
| 9. | Followed Jeff back. | ||||||
| 10. | Planned to hit trail junction and go between the 2 "bare rock" areas. They were actually "disturbed ground," so I went through one while I watched Jeff take the trail between. This was confusing, and I didn't figure it out until later. He, Holly, and I went over the top of the reentrant, and I saw each rock feature as I passed. | ||||||
| 11. | Followed my compass through the field but cut into the woods too early, thinking I was at the end of the field. I ran through the woods reading the contours and found it fine, except that it was one reentrant further than I'd thought. The woods running wasn't too bad. | ||||||
| 12. | I looked at this leg and set my compass because I didn't see an obvious attack point. There was really no need because of the long line of people ahead of me. I looked at my map while climbing the hill, then read the contours on the way down. We passed a reentrant junction on the red line at the bottom. By then I had an attack point: the reentrant right before the control, and I'd gone left so I'd hit it. We crossed a reentrant then got to my attack point, but I was braindead after the climbing and thought that I was looking for the boulder in the reentrant. (I was confused when nobody else stopped there to punch.) Then I figured it out and kept going. | ||||||
| 13. | I think Jeff had caught me again on the hill, and he was with me on this one. More climb, this time in the woods. | ||||||
| 14. | Others went right a little, and I wondered why. I hesitated a lot and then went straight. I read the contours then came out into the field. The group was running down the reentrant north of the hill, so I was confused. I might've followed them if Jeff hadn't kept going. I need more confidence in myself when I'm tired like that; big groups make mistakes, too. I went a little lower than Jeff to the marsh. | ||||||
| 15. | I hated this leg because of the steep climb and easy navigation. I refused to run. | ||||||
| 16. | |||||||
| 17. | |||||||
