Race Evaluation
Mt. Tom get all the controls:
cmorse
| 1. | No watch, so no splits but figured I would comment anyway. I opted for the CCW route - would rather climb on trails and downhill in the open woods - a good choice? My time may also be a little slow since I ran a moderate 8 miles at Soapstone 2.5 hours previous. First control - into reentrant easy | ||||||
| 2. | +00:45 | Got a tad low, but had to climb up rocky streambed | |||||
| 3. | +00:45 | Was dead-on but saw road and felt I was too close, so probably backtracked just before boulders (didn't see them in hemlock) came back and there they were - just seemed a little close to the road from that attack angle. | |||||
| 4. | screaming downhill - spike... | ||||||
| 5. | +00:20 | cut into the woods and through green - did not pick up small trail and overshot slightly, quickly backed up into depression which was not visible unless you were right on it. | |||||
| 6. | trails all the way... | ||||||
| 7. | +00:15 | up and across slope - drifted downhill a line or two partway there but corrected and hit control deadon. | |||||
| 8. | straight in to hilltop | ||||||
| 9. | +00:10 | uphill on trail (running), cut into woods at sharp reentrant hit boulder cleanly - no flag? - went around the boulder and saw flag wedged into crack in boulder - is there a clue for boulder - inside of? | |||||
| 10. | +00:30 | off and around reentrant - nice woods - got off to the right slightly, hitting wrong cliff, quickly back to correct cliff | |||||
| 11. | +01:00 | off into the green - bad idea - smashed my knee good and just general thrashing, should have gone around the green | |||||
| 12. | +00:10 | downhill on trail to junction, then across slope between two spurs - pick up trail and run hard to boulder - no flag? saw flag tucked under small hemlock a few m away - hidden from my approach angle | |||||
| 13. | +01:00 | across slope above rocky knoll, across large reentrant and up below cliffs - very solid attackpoint going up east facing reentrant and over saddle to find Peter G asking if this is the reentrant I have circled - I tell him it is and he tells me its not there - which I quickly find for myself - I check 2 reentrants just west of my circle to make sure and then head onwards - maybe a minute to check the other two reentrants | |||||
| 14. | screaming downhill run (I love running down this slope which is why I appear to be the only one to do this CCW) catch the reentrant and follow downhill until reentrant flattens out, then on bearing for boulder - I saw a very large buck in the vicinity of the flag - once he saw me and took off I realized he must have been munching on the flag.... | ||||||
| 15. | down to bridge spike... | ||||||
| 16. | up to stonewall from trail/stream junction | ||||||
| 17. | trail to bridge - met Charlie going the other way... | ||||||
| 18. | trail to rocky ground | ||||||
| F. | road to finish... |
