Race Evaluation

US Team Trials: Day 2: Blue/Green

1.	+00:15	Hesitated on the approach because the hilltop where the control was located did not look like a 5m contour hilltop to me.
2.
3.	+00:20	Checked the neighbouring clearing first
4.	+01:00	The green pushed me out to the powerline, was not sure how far I was, almost started cutting in too soon.
5.
6.
7.	+01:30	Had no plan for the leg, so ended up going over all the spurs on a straight line. Ran into a fence in the middle and then overshot the control (went too high) and relocated from the road behind it. The bottom route (using the flat section) was clearly much better.
8.	+00:45	Started with no plan, went to the trail, followed the trail to the semi-open field and cut into the control from the road. Taking the large re-entrant to the north of the line would have been much faster.
9.
10.
11.	+01:30	Was caught by Jon Torrance at 10, who was moving very quickly. He started pulling away from me, but then went through the green slush, while i took the trail around. Did not bother to read the approach to the control and unnecesarily climbed to the top. Got the control when saw Jon punching it.
12.
13.	+01:20	A very random control, hidden behind a bush that looked just like all the other bushes around it. Went straight by it without seeing it and then muffled around a bit.
