Out to Waterloo HQ for a no flag red run.
1 - 2:40 (12) nearly overshot, didn't see the probably easier road line.
2 - 7:08 (9) also did not see the road line. Also could not tell which. Had there been a flag, having checked all of them, I would've been out faster I think. EDIT: Bugger, I see I was short of the target on the QR. :(
3 - 4:05 (8) Holy cow this is not a strong start.
4 - 2:30 (9) why am I so bad
5 - 4:58 (4) I still need to figure out the ridge after ridge contour shapes. Also I drifted a bit west, but not too bad.
6. - 3:03 (3) I should have been faster, didn't realize I knew the spot and should have hammered over
7 - 3:32 (5) Needed a flag here. I have trouble deciding what the knoll is unless it's super pronounced.
8 - 7:41 (6) I thought I did alright, until the end, hit the right ditch, thought it was the one before, caught by the green to double back.
9 - 6:41 (4) Some meandering switching routes. Probably should have toughed out the straight bit, but kept drifting for easier running. Putting a control in one of the more subtle depressions here would be an interesting leg
10 - 4:33 (6) Again with the knolls. What was it here?
11 - 6:10 (6) Just slow, I hope I went through the right one. It seemed close enough, and I was running out of time. :/ EDIT: Not the right one. I thought I was slightly west of that open area, whoops. :(
12 - 5:07 (4) Lots of switching of routes. First I thought road, then powerline looked okay, then not okay, then okay, then the marsh looked deep....
13 - 3:58 (5) Not much too it, just not fast enough
14 - 9:24 (5) Felt okay about it until I saw that I last 3! minutes to the fastest split. Maybe better to go up the road for the trail? I was slow through the light green.
F - 3:27 (1) FTMFW. Probably should have been straighter, but I got a nice bit on the road that approached 10 mph. Training Center says 10.5 mph max, woo woo. It feels like flying and I love it.
1:15:04 (4***) <--- not sure how long to fix #2 and #11.....
