Race Evaluation

DVOA Elk Neck: Red

Wyatt

1. Underrated difficulty
+01:00
To hill top, then diagonal down to little notch reentrant above bag. Didn't see it even though I was looking hard & GPS says I ran right across it. Hit the larger reentrant east of the bag, then spiked it on the way back.
2. Bad route choice
Did not like map
+03:00
Left route was bad wasn't confident of the beach route - should've read map more. Left attack was poor too as trail/clearing had changed, plus the bad was hung a bit too high, so I had to loop around the big reentrant, and see Clem catch 4 minutes on me and exit before me...
3. Did not like map
Bad map reading
Could not relocate
Followed others
+01:30
Clem entered the woods a little early, I entered a bit after him more on line, but then turned left to see where he'd crossed the early/wrong reentrant in case there was a bag there. There wasn't. I bailed out and looped around to the building and into 3 from there.
4. +00:15Hit ledge WSW of control and it was steeper than I thought. Climbed and turned, then things worked.
5. Climbed spur to the left. Trail to bend. E 50 paces, SE to dirt wall then creek. Left on creek to other creeks, then E into bag.
6. Uphill, weaving a bit right over the high parts then down to bag.
7. +00:20Pretty close to the line. Stopped about 25m short, quite confused as to why I hadn't seen anything
8. +00:20Up old road, through field edge, down new road, then contoured across, just a little high. Route wobbly.
9. Bearing/reentant zoom.
10. +01:45On line out, across reentrant and up through more dark green than intended. Broke of a tree branch to bash my way through at one point. At the road, I took a few steps into the forest, then wimped out/backed around the trail way around left, missing it at the junction as it's quite indisitnct there.. Straight would've been better, much...
11. Pretty straight - to road, diagonal, road a bit, then down big spur lean across, nailed 11.
12. +00:10Contoured, climbed up to flat, got inside circle and couldn't see subtle reentrant very close to me
13. Up to hill then contour around path of least resistance, hitting several mini-reentrants so I knew I was low.
14. N to trail NW, N, W cut to road, trail to near pool, right past buildings, broken ground, reentrant, L side, right across the dry pond to the bag.
