Race Evaluation

DVOA Crows Nest Preserve-French Creek: Green

1.							Very easy control, but misoriented for the first minute. Same thing happened at Hibernia.
2.							Stone wall off trail keeping dry ditch to easy side as handrail.
3.							Got confused with which large boulder patch I was in. In retrospect, I should have erred North and then ran South once I hit the boulder field.
4.							Never saw the rocks on the road so was a little confused, but saw the stone wall and hit it cleanly.
5.							Took the conservative route here. Road to trail to trail bend up the hill.
6.							Was fortunate here. Wanted to run from NW side of stone wall "square" down to marsh as attack point with the creek as a backstop. Got a little tangled up in green early and probably lost focus. Was banking on backstop when I hit the control spot on.
7.							Ran west out of rocks than N, erring to east side of control. Spotted the depression 100m E and was able to easily contour over to the cliff.
8.							Rough compass to boulder field to boulder.
9.							Rough compass again. There was a group of people going towards this one.
10.							I was surprised to have the best split here. Basically a trail run, and given that I wasn't feeling well I thought I'd be giving up time on "lost kilometers".
11.							Headed N, took a while to find a way through the green patch, but hit it straight on. Poor route choice based on splits.
12.							Took my time here keeping track of the fields.
13.							Took the trail through the green in the SE field corner.
F.							Long uphill finish. Passed #1 on the way.
