Race Evaluation
Flying Pig XI, Day 1: Red

| 1. | +06:00 | I had a conservative trail option available, that did not add too much distance, but I tried to run straight. Ran too far and too right and had trouble relocating. | |||||
| 2. | Too many wiggles and ditches en route, so I just ran on a bearing and paid close attention after crossing the trail. | ||||||
| 3. | Crossed the first ditch, then angled up to the second ditch while noticing in the distance what was probably mapped green. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:05 | Ran several steps towards 6, since there was a line from 3 to 6, but realized the problem and adjusted | |||||
| 5. | Pushed a little right by the green, but I was aware of that and corrected appropriately. | ||||||
| 6. | Went farther right than I needed to, but it made for a very flat leg. Not sure why it was so slow. | ||||||
| 7. | Straight. Even I could see the little reentrant from a distance. | ||||||
| 8. | The green pushed me significantly right, but there was a nice spur target to get back towards the line and I even spotted the first bench to give me a solid pointer to the second bench. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:45 | The open field didn't look runnable, so I skirted around. Sadly, I skirted too far and ran above my control, saying "hmm, I wonder which course has that control". Got about 75m past, before I realized that it must have been mine. | |||||
| 10. | +00:10 | Aimed too high up the spur. Should have used the time running back to C9 to set an accurate bearing | |||||
| 11. | Went farther right than I wanted because I was paranoid about running OB, what with all of the AP discussion on what is a deserved DQ. | ||||||
| 12. | Straight and slow. | ||||||
| 13. | Missed just one hump to the right. | ||||||
| 14. | Drifted right to let myself get a hint from C12. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:08 | Angled left to the trail. Took a spill in the open, flat land. How does that happen? | |||||
| 16. | Just a bit slow. But I got Nate by 1 second. | ||||||
| 17. | Quicker. Got Nate by 4 seconds. He says if I was next to him, he would have beaten me. I told him that next time he should imagine that I am next to him. | ||||||
| F. | Quite quick. But only got Nate by 1 second. |
