Race Evaluation

WCOC Osbornedale State Park: Red

Charlie's comments - by leg

1. Pretty straight on compass. Through the walls, saw house on left.
2. Time Lost: 01:00Out to the road and uphill over the grassy knoll and picking up the trail out of the W parking lot.Trail all the way SW to the spur past the yellow strip in the green. Up past NE end of cliff in non-existent green strip and to the reentrant. Down and around to spur and spiked it, except - didn't see it. So drifted down a line, then looked back up and saw it tucked further in. Darn!
3. Time Lost: 00:30W to the trail leading down to the field and out to the road through fields. In at parking area and along filed to W corner then contour. Got too low and hung up in cliff with little reentrant.
4. Right around non-existent green, then along side of big reentrant, seeing the smaller one developing from a distance.
5. Thought about left on road past green, but coming from trail NE up the reentrant looked like an easy attack, so went back the way I came on 2-3 and up the reentrant to the spur and spiked it.
6. Up and over on compass. Drifted a little right and had to come up and over a small spur.
7. Time Lost: 00:15Back up the hill, picking up the trail at the stone wall, going left on the trail past the next wall, then angling downhill and N to end of wall and through nasty barberry onto hill with two knolls. Looked around in reentrant for a while before looking up!
8. Time Lost: 02:30WSW to the trail. Hit too far south to do the good route on the intermittent trail leading to the top of the reentrant N of control. Instead, ran S on trail to jct with trail headed E, and went W up and over through nasty, nasty laurel. Hit the big reentrant and guessed wrong, heading up for a bit until I knew I was too far and turning back.
9. SE to trail, across stream and then uphill next to cliffs.
10. Up and over, shading a bit right to go through saddle just R of line and around across SSW facing reentrant to right one.
11. Down to trail and back to W parking lot. Almost hit an eye level downed branch while reading my map. When I came back through picking up controls, it was on the ground.Through lower lot and gap in wall.
12. Back through wall gap and past NE end of parking lots to field corner and then up. Past boulders, reentrant, to top of cliff.
13. Below wall onto spur, then just looked for it.
14. To stone wall then picked a place to get through. Finally headed SE to NE parking lot and got hung up a bit in the brambles.

Total Time Lost - 00:04:15
